Alumni Day
Well Attended

DECEASED

A spirit of good time and fellowship was
the prevailing atmosphere at the 48th an-
nual Alumni reunion held Friday, May 31,
at College Park. Alumni from as far back
as 1881 up to this year's graduates were on
hand. Dr. R. Sumter Griffith of Waynes-
boro, Virginia, was the oldest graduate pres
cut and he did not miss any part of the
program.

Rossborough Inn

The high light of the day was the recep-
tion at the famous Rossborough Inn held
from 3 to 6 p. m. It was the formal opening
of the restored landmark which has been re-
furnished in period style. Many friends of
the University were also invited but those
who rejoiced the most in seeing the campus
shrine restored were the Alumni.

Activities for the Alumni began at 10
a. m. when they assembled at the New
Administration Building, registered and
got a program for the day. President Chas.
\V. Sylvester, '08, lead the return of a large
representation of old grads. Maryland's new
buildings presented something for all to see
and kept the morning hours busy.

At 1 p. in. the annual Alumni luncheon
was held at the University Dining Hall,
where the class reunions held sway. Those
twenty -five year-old boys of 191? were in
the spotlight. It was the largest twenty-five-
year reunion any class has ever held. Vice-
President Massey was the spokesman for
his classmates. A birthday cake provided
by the wives was the center decoration of
their special tabic.

Annual Meeting

Immediately following lunch the annual
meeting of the Association was held. Presi-
dent Sylvester introduced all of the past
presidents present, among whom were Dr.
Fletcher P. Veith, '91. Mr. Henry Hob,
apfcl. '93, Dr. F. B. Bombcrgcr. '94. Mr.
William Croft. '00, Mr. J. Hanson Mitch-
ell. '98, Dr. T. B. Symons, '02. and Mr.
E. F. Zalesak, '25. Following a few re-
marks by the President a proposal was made
to change the constitution in order to pro-
vide for a wider representation of Alumni
by colleges. Also the reorganization gives
to the Alumni of each college the privilege
of naming their representatives to the

WlLLARD M. HlLLEGEIS'l, '12

The sudden death of Willard M. Ilille-
geist, '12, came as a shock to his fellow-
workers and intimate friends who have had
reason to appreciate his endeavors as loyal
Alumnus to his Alma Mater. He has served
the University for more than twenty-five
years from assistant in the office of Ad-
ministration to Director of Admission, the
position he held at the time of his death.
June 2nd.

"Hille." as he was familiarly called, was
not universally famous, yet it may be won-
dered if any other servant of education in
his generation ever more truly deserved the
gratitude of the State of Man land. The
great intelligent understanding and sym-
pathy with which he was endowed can well
be found in the memories of those many
Students and parents who sought his coun-
sel when youth began the road to higher
education.

His was a career of devoted service which
he pursued with an indomitable spirit that
never surrendered or ever took account of
the limits of human endurance. His time
was your time and for that of his fellow
man.

A certain genuine enthusiasm for the
welfare of his Alma Mater stimulated his
efforts. Kindliness was his outstanding qual-
ity, a humane cooperative quality, his most
notable capacity. Nothing pleased him as
much as the privilege of contributing to
the completion of a task which he con-
sidered worthy of his efforts.

Home Economics
Held Open House

Alumnae, students, parents and friends
of the University were guests of the Col-
lege of Home Economics at their open
house party held May 1" 18 -19. Dean
Marie Mount, assisted by her staff, pre-
sented many interesting exhibits made avail-
able by the facilities of the new building.

A special meeting of Alumnae of the
College was held and definite steps were
taken for the organizing of our Alumni
Club composed of Home Economics
Alumnae.

Miss Carolyn Chcsscr was appointed as
general chairman for the organization com-
mittee. The committee will appoint the
Home Economics representatives on the
General Alumni Executive Board. A very
large crowd attended the open house party.

ELECTED PRESIDENT Alumni Day Well Attended REAPPOINTED REGENT

P. \V. Chichester, '20
Newly elected President of the Univer-
sity of Maryland Alumni Association of
the College Park Schools is one of our
most eminent Alumni. P. W. Chichester,
a graduate in Agricultural Education, came
from Southern Maryland stock and has
distinguished himself as a scholar, a sol-
dier and a citizen. Pete, as he is better
known by his classmates, interrupted his
college education and joined the army
during the World War, where he distin-
guished himself as a capable officer. He re-
turned to college following the war and
resumed his educational studies. After grad-
uation he became associated with the Uni-
versity Extension Service in boys' club
work. His capability as an organizer and
leader soon won for him the position as
County Agent for Frederick County. There
again his ability to meet and work with
other people attracted the attention of a
widely known feed concern, Deitrich and
Gambrill, where he is sales manager and
a member of the firm.

Pete is an Old Line Alumnus through
and through and has always been active in
Alumni affairs. He figured prominently in
the first Alumni organization in Frederick
County. When the annual Charter Day
Celebration is held he can always be count-
ed on to have a good representation pres-
ent from his county. lie has been a mem-
ber of the Alumni Board for Eve years and
has seldom missed a meeting.

Nurses Celebrate
Fiftieth Anniversary

By Lili ian IIoki . '23

It is interesting to note that the two
largest Nursing Schools now prominent in
Maryland almost exactly tie for enrollment
as the State's oldest school of nursing, the
Johns Hopkins School and the Univcrsih
of Man land School opened in the same
year, 1889. The first Superintendent of
Nurses of Maryland University School of
Nursing was Miss Louisa Parsons, an Eng
hsh nurse, who in the year 1880 graduated
from the Nightingale Training School at
St. Thomas Hospital. London, this school
having been founded in 1860 by Florence
Nightingale.

In recognition of Miss Parsons, through
the courtesy of St. Thomas Hospital, grad
nates of the University of Maryland School
of Nursing have the distinction and the
privilege of wearing the Florence Night
ingale cap. Miss Parsons, twice decorated
by Queen Victoria for nursing service in
the British campaigns of 1882-1885 in
Egypt, at her death in 1916 bequeathed
her medals to the University School which
she had founded. She left also to the nurses
of this school a legacy of ten thousand dol-
lars which has been used to establish a
Nurses' Benefit Fund. The Nurses' Home
which was opened in 1922 is named in
Miss Parsons' honor. "The Louisa Parsons
Home.''

First Graduate In 1892

Miss Janet Hale, class of 1892. was the
first graduate of the school to serve as its
Superintendent of Nurses. In her honor
the Nurses' Alumni Association, which was
organized in 1903. awards each year, the
Janet Hale Scholarship for postgraduate
study to the graduate ranking highest in
scholarship.

During the fifty years of its existence,
the graduates of the University of Mary-
land School of Nursing with those of other
s; hools, have labored zealously for the ad-
vancement of nursing through revision of
the curriculum from time to time, careful
development of legislation affecting the
practice of nursing, assisting in organizing
mutually helpful professional associations
and adjustment to changing educational
and social standards.

The Celebration

On Thursday, May 30th, the celebration
of the 50th anniversary of the School of
Nursing was ushered in by way of a buffet
supper at 806 Park Avenue. Here gathered
many alumnae to renew old friendships
and to make new ones. Every class was rep-
resented except those of 1892 and 1899.
We were proud to have with us two mem-
bers of the class of 1893, Mary E. Corn-
man and Clara Mergardt (Mrs. Jesse Reif-
snider). The guests were seated according
to classes. There were shouts of joy and
surprise upon meeting unexpected class
mates and friends. Songs were interspersed
with the supper — several classes enter-
tained us with class songs. A so-called "Pro-
fessor Quiz" program was conducted by
Mrs. Troy who chose individuals at ran-
dom and quizzed them regarding the ac-
complishments of some member who has
been or is outstanding in the profession.
This proved to be both entertaining and
informative.

Alumni Reunion Held

Friday morning a goodly number of the
alumnae joined with the graduates in at-
tending a corporate communion service at
old St. Paul's Episcopal Church. This was
followed by registration, a tour of the
hospital and luncheon. At two o'clock
the seniors presented a "Study in the Care
of an Obstetric Patient" and "A Family

Case Study"', in Gordon Wilson Hall. The
highlight of the celebration was the ban-
quet at the Hotel Emerson on Friday even-
ing. Miss Ruth Roush, President of the
Alumnae Association, presided at the
speakers' table. Dr. Powell M. Davvley of-
fered the Invocation. Mrs. John Paul Troy
was toastmaster. Dr. H. Clifton Byrd,
President of the University, extended greet-
ings to the alumnae and guests. A history
of the Nursing School was read — the pe-
riod from its organization in 1889 to 1920,
by Miss Bernice V. Conner, '12, and the
period from 1920 to the present by Mrs.
Anne Hoke Hull, '3 5. Dr. Joseph L. Fen-
rich, Lecturer in Philosophy at Salem Col-
lege, West Virginia, talked on "Private
Worlds" and left with us this message:
"Don't take yourself too seriously." The
banquet program ended with the awarding
of prizes to the graduating class by the
Director of the School of Nursing. Dane
ing followed until 1 a. m.

Saturday morning many of the guests
traveled by bus with the graduating class
to College Park, where formal graduation
exercises for the 20 graduates of the Uni-
versity concluded the Anniversary program.

The celebration was a memorable oc-
casion, especially for those of the earlier
classes who gather to relive the past, to
view the present and to glimpse the fu-
ture.

54 Athletes Honored;
Many Stars Lost

Maryland said goodbye to a number of
the finest athletes who ever have worn its
colors when 54 varsity men were awarded
letters and 61 freshmen got numerals at
an assembly on the campus during Com-
mencement Weel .

"M's" in varsity sports went to 18 in la-
crosse. 12 in track, 16 in baseball and 8
in tennis, and 24 of these will be lost.

Eight members of the lacrosse team that
won the national collegiate title in 1939
and again this year have finished, including
Bill Cole. Bill Bond, Jim Heil, Milton Mu-
litz, Oscar Ncvarcs, and Leo Mueller, reg-
ulars, and Jack Grier and George Lawrence,
reserves.

Track Celebrities Lost

Only six 1940 letter men went from the
track team, but included arc Jim Kehoe,
Mason Chronister, and Alan Miller, three
of the greatest ever to compete for the
Terps.

All were 1940 Southern Conference
champions and were members of the relay
quartets that won three races and national
fame at the Pcnn Carnival last April.

Baseball, too, lost only seven of its 16
letter winners, but numbered among them
are Lefty Earl Springer, the Terp's best
pitcher in years, now with the Baltimore
Orioles; Pershing Mondorff, another fine
hurler; Adam Bengoechea, the best 1940
infielder, and Bob Burns, a topnotch
catcher.

Tennis lost just three of its eight insig-
nia winners, but they were Allie Ritzen-
berg, Nate Askin, and Jay Phillips, the No.
1. 2, and 3 men of the squad and the first
two named one of the best doubles com-
binations in the South.

Some Capable Rookies

Lacrosse, track and baseball should be
considerably bolstered from talent on the
1940 yearling outfits, but the frosh net
team, the only spring squad to finish in
the "led." will not furnish much help.

Presentation of the letters was made by
Dr. R. V. Truitt, in lacrosse; Dr. Bird

George Lawrence (left), football and la-
crosse player, and Jim Kehoe (right), prob-
ably the greatest trackman in Maryland's
history, received the highest athletic
awards. Lawrence received the Sylvester
watch, presented by the class of 1908 to
the man who typifies the best in college
athletics. Kehoe won the Linhardt ring

as the outstanding Mankind athlete.

Pitcher Earl Springer won the Bo/ie
Berger award as the outstanding senior in
baseball and Leo Mueller and Oscar Ne-
vares were presented with Edward Powell
awards in recognition of their outstanding
service with the lacrosse team. Powell was
the "father of lacrosse" at Maryland,

Hopkins of Bel Air, Md., in track; James
Shumate, '20 of Chevy Chase, Md., in
tennis; and Prof. Charles S. Richardson,
retired, in baseball.

Gold awards were made by the coaches,
H. Burton Shipley in baseball, John E.
(Jack) Faber in lacrosse, Geary Epplcy in
track, and Leslie Bopst in tennis.

Sports Year Notable
Despite Grid Losses

Maryland had a good year in sports -
in fact, a notable one — despite the start
tliat gave only two victories in nine fool
ball games. No other varsity team, though,
finished on the wrong side of the ledgci
and collectively they compiled (>2 per cent.
'victories, despite tough schedules were
fated in all pastimes.

Outstanding, of course, was the winning
of the national lacrosse championship for
the second year in a row, and the cap
tilling ot three titles in the I'enn Relay Car-
Inival at Philadelphia, to he the leading
team in those classic games.

renins also enjoyed the best season in
the history of the game at College Park,
only one match being lost in nine played.
The victory list doubtless would have been
Substantially increased had not rain pre
vented several matches.

Freshman teams also did well, turning
in 63 per cent, victories, with the yearling

lacrosse squad being the only outfit to have

'a clean slate.

Here is how the various teams fared:

1908 winch has contributed generously to

the welfare of the University. Thej have

REDSKINS RETAIN MEADE

)iin Meade, former Tcrp football and
lacrosse star, lias signed for his second sea-
son with the Washington Redskins. Meade,
who now scales 205 pounds, 15 more than
when in college, appears in great trim.

MUELLERS GOOD PAIR

Leo Mueller and Jack Mueller, cousins
from Baltimore, who teamed up effectively
on Mankind's championship lacrosse team
during the recent season, may pair at ends
on the Terp eleven next fall. Leo played
almost regularly in 1939 and lack impres
sed in spring practice.

KELLER IS TOP BATTER

Outfielder Hugh Keller, despite a late
slump, led the Mankind ball team in bat-
ting during the 1940 campaign with an
average of .392. Infieldcr Adam Bengoe
chea. signed by Detroit and "fanned" out.

Class Reunions

In the afternoon class reunions were held
in various places after which every one
joined the trek to the famous Rossborough
Inn. Every part of the reception had the
colonial atmosphere. The young ladies in
attendance were dressed as colonial dames,
the servants who were serving refreshments
were in costumes and to top it all, Eve
colored musicians dressed in slave regalia
played and sang spirituals and plantation
songs in the garden. Using a slang ex-
pression, "no kiddin', it was a most hos-
pitable affair." Everyone seemed to have
had a delightful time.

Alumni Dinner

The climax of the day began at 6 p. m.
in the University Dining Hall with the an-
nual Faculty Alumni Dinner. Several very
interesting remarks were made by our sen-
ior Senator, Millard E. Tydings, '10, Con-
gressman W. P. Cole, '10, and Col. O. H.
Saunders, '10. Colonel Saunders spoke on
a very interesting subject, "The Problem
of National Defense."

Retiring President Sylvester presented
the newly elected President, Mr. P. W.
Chichester, '20. Following a few remarks
by our illustrious Alumni, the entertain-
ment program was turned oxer to Robert
Bradley, '39, a well known pianist and
boxer.

\ special vaudeville show was presented
instead of a long speaking program.

After the dinner all Alumni were in-
vited to attend the 78th annual Com-
mencement Ball in the Gym Armory.
There Little Jack Little's nationally famous
dance and radio orchestra provided splen-
did music. At 1 a. m. the curtain fell on

ever held.

Major General Thomas Halcomb, com- i
mandant of the U. S. Marine Corps, was
the guest of honor on the annual Military

comb's honor preceded the competitive
drills.

The climax of a colorful day was the
awarding of honors. Cadet Major Enos Ray
commanded the winning battalion. Cadet
Captain Warren Steiner received the Gov-
ernor's award for the winning company.
Cadet First Lieutenant Charles Bastian
headed the winning platoon and Corporal
Robert Edwards led the winning squad.
Last, but not least, was the individual
competition, won by Clifford Davis of
Washington. This is quite a feat when you
realize he had over a thousand competitors.
The class of 1899 annually award a medal
to the winner and J. J. Betton, a member
of the class, was on hand to make the pre-
sentation.

Many Alumni who now hold commis-
sions in the Army and Marines were on

Thoughts of Interest:

Political Conventions

by Dr. Lawrence V. Howard

Chairman, Dcpt. of Political Science

One of the most interesting devices
through which democratic government
functions in the United States is the na-
tional convention which each party holds
once even four years. It is truly an Amer-
ican institution with no counterpart in any-
other country of the world. It is doubtful,
however, if there are very many people
who know how this means of nominating
candidates for the Presidency and Vice-
Presidency came into existence, how it is
constituted and the basis upon which its
powers rest at the present time.

First In Baltimore
The first nat onal nominating convention
ever to be held by any American political
party met in Baltimore in 1831. It is inter-
esting to note that the convention was in-
troduced by the first real minor party to
arise in the United S'tates, the Anti-Ma-
sons, which had been organized in 1828
in opposition to the Masonic order. The
delegates nominated a Marylander, Wil-
liam Wirt, as the Presidential candidate
of the party. This convention is noteworthy
not only because it was the first one ever to
be held but also because the candidate,
when informed of his nomination, went be-
fore the convention and delivered a most
unusual speech of acceptance. He declared
that he himself had been a Mason and that
he had never seen any harm in the organ-
ization until the Anti-Masonic Party had
been founded on the principle of opposi-
tion to secret societies. He further declared
that Masonry as it was conceived by the
party "was not and could not be Masonry
as understood by Washington" and con-
cluded by informing the delegates that "if
they had nominated him under a misap-
prehension he would permit them to sub-
stitute another name for his own." The
convention voted unanimously, however,
to stand by the nomination.

Two-Thirds Rule
Baltimore was also the scene of the sec-
ond and third national conventions to be

held in the U. S. In 1831 a conven-
tion of National Republicans nominated
Henry Clay for the Presidency and in 1832
a Democratic convention nominated An-
drew Jackson. Ever since that time the
convention has been the accepted means
by which the parties nominate their candi-
dates for the highest offices within the gift
of the American people.

Not only did the campaign of 1832 give
us the national convention but it also es-
tablished several practices which have been
followed almost without exception to the
present day. The National Republican
convention appointed a committee to no-
tify Clay of his nomination, a practice
which has been followed by all conven-
tions since that time with the exception of
that of the Democratic party in 1932 and
1936. The Democratic convention of 1832
adopted the two-thirds rule, under which
a candidate had to secure the vote of two-
thirds of the delegates in order to receive
the nomination. This rule was consistently
followed by the Democrats until its aban-
donment by the convention of 1936.
Congressional Nomination

The convention method of nominating
candidates for the Presidency and Vice-
Presidency seems to have been adopted
somewhat by accident. Prior to the cam-
paign of 1832 candidates were nominated
by congressional caucuses, which consisted
of all the members of the party in the
national Congress, or by other meetings
of party leaders. The Anti-Masons were
a new party, however, and had no mem-
bers of Congress nor any state organiza-
tion. They decided therefore to call a na-
tional convention to nominate their candi-
dates and the other parties followed suit.
It should be added, however, that the con-
vention would probably not have been
adopted by the other parties if there had
not been general dissatisfaction with the
earlier methods of nomination. As a mat-
ter of fact the caucus had never been pop-

ular. It was alleged to be undemocratic
and so was easily swept into oblivion by
the forces of the new democracy under
the leadership of Andrew Jackson. The
new party alignments which were being
forged required a method of nomination
which would eliminate bitter personal rival-
ries and consolidate diverse sectional in-
terests into parties that were truly national
in character. This the conventions were
able to assist very materially in accom-
plishing.

Radio Shows Up

Just as the caucus was swept away by the
forces of Jacksonian democracy in the first
half of the nineteenth century so it ap-
peared in the early years of the twentieth
century that the convention might be sup-
planted by a more democratic method of
nomination, the Presidential primary.
Within the states the direct primary was
beginning to be widely used for the nom-
ination of state officers, and there were
demands that it be applied also to the
nomination of the President and Vice-
President. When in 1912 the Republican
convention refused to nominate Theodore
Roosevelt, the popular choice in the state
primaries, the demand for a change was
intensified. President Wilson in 1913 urged
Congress to enact legislation providing for
the choice of Presidential candidates by
primary vote without the intervention of
nominating conventions. His proposal was
not adopted, however, and since that time
little has been heard of it. The national
convention not only survived but appar-
ently is stronger today than it was a gen-
eration ago. This is in spite of the fact that
many of its weaknesses have been revealed
to the public for the first time since the
radio came into general use.

Public Opinion

\t the present time the Democratic
convention is composed of twice as many
delegates from each state as the state has
members of both houses of Congress. The
Republican convention was similarly con-
stituted until 1916 when a new system of
apportionment was adopted under which
the number of representatives from each
state was made to depend in part upon the
actual Republican vote cast in the state in
the last election. In over one-half of the
states delegates to both national conven-
tions arc chosen by state conventions

Many Alumni Attend
Summer School

Main old grads were among those seek
ing advanced degrees by attending sum

lncr sessions. Most ot them were high
school principals and teachers, also a few
were jusl keeping theii teaching certificates
up to date with advancing information.

Two of the outstanding features of tins
year's session were the "World Today"
special lectures on the European situations
and a modern dance class by the W omen's
Physical Education Department. The mod
cm dance is a new feature this yeai and is
very popular. The lectures on the "World
Today" which were held last year are gain-
ing in popularity under the supervision of
Dr. Reuben Steinmeyer, professor of I'o

h< ,ii about the death of Dl \ \ 1'ihii

son. formei Dean of the College ol I n
gineering, Dr. Johnson became Dean lol
lowing one ol the most outstanding ea
reers in highwaj engineering He was a
graduate oi one ol the lust highwaj in
gineering courses offered bj Harvard Uni
\cisit\ in L898. He latei became one ol
the nation's outstanding men in the high
waj engineering profession,

In the same \eai ot Ins graduation In

member of the National Research Board,
and was a delegate to the Pan American

Road Congress in Buenos Aires in 1923.

In 1933 he received the Bartlett Award

for his outstanding contribution to high
way progress.

Dr. Johnson's contributions to the en-
gineering profession and his services to the
College of Engineering were lauded by his
associates and now his successor. Dean S.
S. Steinberg. Dr. Johnson's efforts were
unselfish and untiring when working for
the good of his profession. In addition to
his many duties as Dean of the College
of Engineering he served as a director of
the Volunteer Firemen's Short Course,
which began at the University in 1930. His
interest and loyalty to the University has
already been greatly missed and his fellow

The memories of his contributions and
genuine help to those students who stud-
ied under him and with him will be chcr
ished by them always.

Dr. Johnson was residing in Baltimore
at the time of his death. The News takes
this occasion to express sincere condolence
to the bereaved family on behalf of the
Alumni Association.

Professional Associations
Elect New President

Dr. Charles Bagley, 04, M.D.
When the annual meetings of the Pro-
fessional School Alumni Associations were
held during Commencement Week, three
elected new presidents. The Medical Alum-
ni elected Dr. Charles Bagley, Jr., '1)4.
M.D., who graduated from the old Col-
lege of Physicians and Surgeons. He is a
member of the American Medical Associa-
tion, chairman of the Membership Com-
mittee of the Baltimore City Medical So-
ciety, participated in the meeting of the
Southern Medical Association held in Bal-
timore in 1936. He is a member of the
University Medical School Staff as pro-
fessor of Neurological Surgery and has for
many years been an active member of the
Alumni Association.

Dr. T. Ellsworth Ragland, 11, Phar.D.

The Pharmacy Alumni have elected Dr.
T. Ellsworth Ragland, '11, Phar.D., a most
active Alumnus. He is known as a "go-
getter" and has been active in both the
state and city pharmaceutical associations.
He belongs to the Shrine and many other
organizations. His activity in the Alumni
Association has been practically continu-
ous since graduation. When the Charter
Day Committee needed a good worker Dr.
Ragland gave generously of his efforts. He
will make a good president for the Centen-
nial Celebration of our School of Pharmacy
in 1941.

Dr. Brice Dorsey, '27, D.D.S.

Out of the Dental Alumni campaign
Dr. Brice Dorsey, '27, D.D.S'., emerged
victorious to head the Dental Alumni for
the ensuing year. Dr. Dorsey has been a
member of the Dental School staff prac-
tically ever since graduation. He also car-
ries on dental activities with the United
States Public Health Department as con-
sultant dental specialist at the Marine
Ilosital; he is chief of dental staff at our
own hospital and a member of the staff
at Maryland General Hospital. He has
long been a member of the Alumni Asso-
ciation and was quite active in the Dental
Centennial Celebrations this year.

The Law Alumni have retained John E.
Magcrs as president and the Nurses elected
Miss Ann Rousch this past January.

Carl Droop, 91, Dies

Mr. Carl A. Droop, '91, died July 9 at
his summer home in Bluemont. Va. He
was president of the E. F. Droop & Sons
Company, well-known music dealers of
Washington. He was a civic leader, being
a member of many organizations.

Carl, with his brother Edward, took
over his father's business soon after grad-
uation and has kept the name of Droop
prominent in the music field ever since.

Political Conventions

(Continued from Page 4)
rather than by popular vote. Even when
chosen by the latter method there is no
assurance that the delegates will vote for
the popular choice. The convention has
complete freedom in the selection of the
candidates of the party.

The powers of the convention are not
based upon law but are derived from past
practice and party rule. It acts under no
legal restraints whatever and its members
are responsible to no authority, state or na-
tional. Despite this absence of responsi-
bility, however, the convention is usually
responsive to public opinion. A failure to
heed the demand of the rank and file of
party members is to invite defeat for the
party in the November election. It is also
to invite the revival of suggestions that the
convention should be supplanted by some
other nominating device which is more
democratic in its method of operation.
With over a hundred years of history be-
hind it, however, the place of the con-
vention as a nominating agency seems as-
sured for a good many years to come.

Honored — The Leslie Dana Gold Med-
al, awarded annually for outstanding
achievements in prevention of blindness
and the conservation of vision, will be
presented this year to Mr. John M. Glenn,
of New York City, Honorary Vice-Presi-
dent of the National Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness. Mr. Glenn, who is 81
years old, was born in Baltimore. He re-
ceived an LL.B. degree from the Univer-
sity of Maryland in 1882.

Football Card Finally
Is Straightened Out

A kink that ensnarled Maryland's foot-
ball schedule last fall when Thanksgiving

Day was changed from the last Thursday
in November to the third finally has been
ironed out.

This change in Turkey Day and the nec-
essary shifting of games forced the calling
off of the Washington and Lee tilt last
fall and setting a new date for the clash
this season.

With all the adjustments made Mary
land, in its nine-game schedule next fall,
will play Rutgers in Baltimore on new
Thanksgiving Day, November 21, and
will meet Washington and Lee at College
Park on November 30 in the finale.
May Resume Old Date

It is expected that the Terps and Gen-
erals will resume their Turkey Day series
that was tossed into disorder by President
Roosevelt's shift, in 1941.

It also was decided to play the game
with Western Maryland on October 26 at
night in the Baltimore Stadium.

Maryland really has an almost "home"
schedule, as only one game is too far dis-
tant for its followers to see. Four games
will be staged at College Park, two in the
Baltimore Stadium, and the tilts with V.
M. I. in Lynchburg and Penn at Philadel-
phia are within fairly easy auto driving
distance.

Gather September 2

Practice will start September 2 and 24
members of last year's squad, 14 of whom
are letter men. and 1ft sophs will be asked
to report then.

The revised schedule:

September 28 — Hampden-Sydney, at Col-
lege Park. 3:00.

October 5 — Pennsylvania at Philadelphia.

October 12 (Homecoming) — Virginia, at
College Park, 2:30.

October 19 — Florida, at Gainesville.

October 25 — Western Maryland, at Balti-
more Stadium, 8:15.

November 9 — Georgetown, at College
Park, 2:30.

November 16 — Virginia Military Institute.
at Lynchburg Stadium.

November 21 (Thanksgiving) — Rutgers, at
Baltimore Stadium, 2:30.

November 30 — Washington and Lee, at
College Park, 2:00.

Some Random Shots on Sports

Al Heagy will be the line coach, Al
Woods will handle the backs and Jack
Faber will be the coordinator in the Mary
land faculty-alumni football coaching staff
this fall. They doubtless will gather nearly
every evening during the grid campaign to
make plans and map out action for the
next day.

Heagy also will help do the scouting,
as will Woods to some extent, but the lat-
ter and Faber will be with the team at
the games.

Roy Mackert, head of the Physical Ed-
ucation Department, who has been inval-
uable as a scout for many years, also will
continue in that role. Mack, as a rule, sees
only Mankind's last game of the season.

Jim Kehoc, who got his degree in June
and who now is running for the Washing-
ton Athletic Association, set a new mark
of 1:52.2 in winning the National A. A.
U. Junior 800 Meters title on the Pacific
Coast. The Bel Air speedster is just reach-
ing his peak and should do his best run-
ning in the next several vears.

Alan Miller, quarter-mile ace; Mason
Chronister, great mile runner, and Francis
Beamer. football end, all of whom got their
diplomas at the June Commencement,
have been commissioned second lieuten-
ants in the Marine Corps.

Quite a number of other athletes, in-
cluding Ralph Albarano, Frank Skotnicki
and Bob Brown, well-known gridders,
have gone into the army on the one-year
commission basis. Those who meet the
test and care to stav may remain.

Oscar Nevares, attack, and Milton Mu-
litz, defense, were named on the all
America collegiate lacrosse team. It was
the second year in a row for Mulitz.

The Terps also were officially notified
that they had been named as the team
champion for the second successive season.

Jim Wharton, Maryland's crafty 160-
pound junior center, is ill and it is not
certain that he will be able to report for
practice with the rest of the squad on
September 2. He's an exceptional perform-
er for his size.

Jack Faber, of the football coaching
staff and the head mentor of the title
lacrosse team, is vacationing in Pennsyl-
vania, but will be back in plenty of time
to get ready for grid practice. Jack is an
udent fisherman and will spend most of
his time trying to hook 'em.

George DeWitt, Maryland's all-South-
ern Conference basketball player, has been
ost. In scholastic difficulties in the last
semester of the 1939-40 term, George left
school and even if he should re-enter,
which he is not expected to do, would not
be eligible for the next court campaign.

Leon Vannais, basketer and left handed
pitcher, and a big asset to both squads, has
been reported as not returning, and Burton
Culver, fine centcrfiekler, also has gone
out for scholastic reasons.

These happenings do not brighten the
outlook for Burton Shipley, who tutors
both the basketball and diamond squads.

Jack Warficld, a good quarter-miler and
clever little halfback, also has been floored
by the books and will be among the miss-
ing when school reopens in September.

There also are reports that a couple ace
members of the lacrosse team are debat-
ing whether or not to return. There al-
ways arc casualties of this sort but the
blows appear to be heavier than usual.

Merle DuVall who, next to DeWitt,
was Maryland's best basketer last season,
also plans to lay off the indoor pastime
this year. DuVall, who plays baseball as
well as football, thinks two sports, along
with his studies, are all he will be able
to handle during the 1940-41 term. Ship-

I have understood many of oui Mmnni
arc under the impression the University
at College Park is more or less idle or in-
active during the summer months. This
idea is far from being a fact, for if you
made a stud} of the activities at College
Park, yon would
find that college ac-
tivities continue for
most of the sum
mer. After Com
mencement in June
there is a short
breathing spell he
for the Rural \\
men's short course
begins. This short
course is held to benefit the main rural
women who attend from all rural six
tions of Man land. Some people have said
that these women take this trip to College
Park just to take a short vacation awaj
from their husbands and families. I do not
blame these ladies if this were a fact.
However, after investigating you will find
that the University offers to these women
a well organized course of instruct on well
suited to their need m their c\cr\da\ work
at home.

October 12, Are Underway

I [omecoming this year arrives at an
earlier date than in previous years. October
12th at College Park is the date, with
the annual football clash between the Cav-
aliers of Virginia and the Old Liners of
Maryland holding the spotlight.

In addition to the football game there
will be many extra trimmings which add
to the attractiveness of Homecoming. Fra-
ternities and sororities put on a hospitable
display by decorating their houses in gay
colors in keeping with the spirit of the oc-
casion. Many brothers and sisters of the
secret societies return in large numbers for

Pennsylvania-Maryland
Football Rally

On October 5th Maryland will journey
to Philadelphia to play the University of
Pennsylvania in football. The general
Alumni Society of the University of Penn-
sylvania has invited all Alumni of the Uni-
versity of Maryland to join them at a
pre-game luncheon rally of Alumni from
both institutions from 11:30 A. M. to
1 P. M. in Houston Hall, 3417 Spruce
Street. The cost will be $1.00 per person
and reservations should be made in ad-
vance. Write your Alumni Office or the
General Alumni Office of the University
of Pennsylvania at your earliest.

This is a splendid way to emphasize
better collegiate hospitality and relation-
ship between universities. Do not miss this
opportunity.

On Friday evening, October 4th, the
Philadelphia Group of the University of
Maryland Alumni Association will hold
an Alumni get-together, the place to be an-
nounced. Watch the next issue of the
Nf.ws.

Mr. A. Moulton McNutt, '06, and Mr.
John P. Mudd, '07, President and Secre-
tary, respectively, are completing arrange-
ments. They will be assisted by Mr. Thom-
as V,. Clemens, '07, and Mr. C. Merwyn

the campus festivities and to sec their pals
of yesterday.

Other student organizations add to the
frivolity and display of entertainment by
presenting a float parade of original de-
signs during the half-time of the football
game.

Old grads, whose ages are from 20 to
80 years return with the spirit of youth
and play in their blood, back to the cam-
pus life for a day. They come early and
stay late to view the new campus im-
provements and the advancement being
made. Alumni swap yarns at luncheon and
play the game over at dinner time, then
conclude the day by dancing collegiate
style.

One of the highlights of the day is the
football team of 25 years ago. They are the
guests of honor. Then the "M" Club holds
its annual meeting on that day, the time to
be announced in the next issue by Dr. A.-
Kirk Besley, '23, President.

Every Alumni should make his plans at
once to live again for a day the happy days
of yesteryear on October 12 at College
Park.

you find the University Campus filled with
teachers from all over Maryland and ad-
joining States. Most of these teachers come
for a six-week course of instruction, which
is required ever so often of our elementary
and secondary school instructor. To visit
College Park at this time you would find
it to be a very live and active institution.

After teachers' summer school is over
there is a ten-day short course given to the
411 Club boys and girls of Maryland.
These club members come from all rural
sections in Maryland. While at College
Park these youngsters are given instruc-
tions in camp life, leadership, agriculture
and home economics. This is a very worth-
while activity of the University, as most
of us will agree we will never solve our
farm problem until we have more trained
brains to assist in solving this problem.

ment of two new additions to the faculty
in education, Dr. Harold G. Hand and
Dr. Arnold E. Joyal.

Dr. Hand, a graduate of MacAlestcr Col
lege and the University of Minnesota, was
formerly Associate Professor of Education
at Stanford University. He will present a
course in guidance and sociology for the
first time at the University. He is well
versed in this subject, having had consider
able experience and has written a number
of books on the subject.

Dr. Joyal, a graduate of the University
of California, comes to Maryland from the
Department of Education and Director of
the University College at the University of
Colorado. He has also served as school ad
ministrator in the California public
schools. Dr. Joyal comes to Maryland as
a Professor of School Administration and
will teach courses in secondary education.

of you who may happen to visit College
Park to stop in and visit with the several
deans and have them tell you of the work
they arc doing. It is realized that you will
miss seeing some of our old instructors,
but I feel sure you will be pleased to see
and to know some of the new professors
now at College Park.

Cordially yours,

Summer School
Commencement Exercises
Held--69 Get Degrees

Dr. II. C. Byrd, '08, President of Ins
Alma Mater, delivered the address at the
first Summei School Commencement at
which 69 students received then degrees,
The exercises were well attended and a
splendid program was presented.

Excerpt From Dr. Byrd's Address

'"The teachers of the country, both in
'die grade, secondary schools and colleges,
aave not only great opportunities but tre
nendous responsibilities. It is their oppor-
tunity to provide for the youth of America
education advanced far beyond the possi-
bilities afforded the youth of other na-
ions. They have great responsibilities be-
ause they are exerting an influence on
:he development of our nation as a people,
md thereby are helping shape the desti-
hies of other peoples of the world in a
vay that has never been known before to
my other group engaged in a single en-
erprise."

"We should not paint a blacker picture
or youth than youth actually faces. We
should not fill the world of youth with
nore problems than out of specific cases
)jmd breed in youth a feeling that closely
Approaches discontent and thus cause youth
■ o make demands for more than youth has
been able to fit itself for."

"On the contrary, we should hold out
|ihe possibilities that lie in a basic general
education for all and point out the op-
portunities that exist for youth to find ex-
pression in leadership one of the fields on
ijhe development of which our social and
economic system must depend."

"We, of course, recognize that youth
s presented with a different problem to-
'lav than that which existed from 60 to
.00 years ago. At that time the young
nan of 18 or 20 was, in many respects,
ar more mature than the young man of

8 or 20 today. Then, when he wished
jO carve for himself a place in his own
■ommunity life, or to be one of those who
jioneered to establish a new community,
jll that was necessary was to pack his be-
ongings. shoulder his rifle, take his axe in

lear a place for a new home which he,

"Today youth does not pioneer so eas-

tiers of his knowledge in a wilderness of
trees with an axe and hammer, but, in-
stead, he pioneers in the wilderness of
science with test tube and chemicals. Con-

Thoughts of Interest:

A Note on Political Campaigns

by Dr. Howard M. Kline,
Professor in Political Science

Every four years an estimated one mil-
lion people are actively engaged in expend-
ing an estimated fifty million dollars in a
peculiarly American way for the peculiarly
American purpose of electing a President.
Both the methods and the purpose are
"peculiarly American" because no other
country selects its chief executive in the
same way.

Students of our political behavior have
calculated that each of the two major
parties enjoys the regular support of nearly
40 per cent of the voters and that the
million people and the fifty million dollars
are devoted to the single purpose of win-
ning the support of the remaining 20 per
cent. Or, to state the same thing in a
different way, out of every five votes cast,
two will be cast for the candidate of one
of the major parties, two will be cast for
the candidate of the other major party, and
the campaign will be waged over the fifth
vote.

Party Members

A cross-section, of each of the major
parties shows that its dependable support
(40 per cent) is divided into several
groups, according to their status in the
party. There is in each party, of course,
an inner circle of managers or strategists,
who plan and direct the campaign. Their
decisions and tactics are carried out by a
complete hierarchy of party committee-
men, ranging from the precinct (or dis-
trict) leader through the members of the
national committee. The bulk of the po-
litical army is, however, the thousands of
faithful adherents — some active, some dor-
mant — who march to the polls on election
day and vote a straight ticket. Most of
them are vigorous and attentive, others
need to be encouraged or prodded by
party workers. Not so numerous or con-
spicuous but equally dependable arc the
myriad of special interest groups who have
some special policy or policies they want
adopted; their significance is enhanced by

reason of their willingness to augment the
parh' war chest. Lastly, there is a some-
what independent fringe of voters who,
though outwardly recalcitrant, are usually
regular on election day.

Each party, thus armed with a general
staff of strategists, a host of lesser officers
of command and thousands of faithful reg-
ulars, march forth to the Armageddon of
November's fateful first Tuesday. If the
general staff of strategists and managers of
the two parties are equally keen diagnos-
ticians, the plans of battle will be identical.
More than that, the principal forces will
be concentrated at the same points, be-
cause the main battle will be waged in
the doubtful areas and doubtful States.

Some districts within a State — indeed,
some States- — are counted as "sure" for
each party in advance. A political party
will not spend its forces and energies in a
district or State that it is sure to carry
come-what-may, nor will it devote much
attention to a district or State that is sure
to be carried by the other party. Both
concentrate on the doubtful territory.
Party Committees

The key to understanding American po-
litical parties and their campaign tactics
lies in the system of party committees.
These committees are the continuing or-
gans of the party which, regardless of vic-
tory or defeat, carry the party from elec-
tion to election and are the explanation
of its long life. Year in and year out, there
is a permanent hierarchy of committees
which reach from the national committee
through congressional, State, county, ward,
and precinct (or district) committees into
every election district in the nation. These
committees are active 365 days in each
year and not only in the weeks immedi-
ately preceding election. For campaign
purposes, scores of special committees are
created to make special appeals to special
groups, such as women, veterans, farmers,
foreign language groups, negroes, etc. In

addition, other campaign committees
"spring up", or are planted (often with
unrevealing names) such as societies of
patriots, taxpayers, progressives, good
neighbors, constitution and liberty protec- '
tors, etc. Many of these committees are
purely local but their efforts are carefully
coordinated with those of the permanent
party committees so that the whole system
functions in synchronized integration.
Campaign Media
The fundamental task of this huge or-
ganization is one of salesmanship, to get
as wide a hearing as possible and to pre-
sent their wares as advantageously as pos-
sible. To this end, all the known sales
media are employed. At its quadrennial
convention each party prepares and pre-
sents a platform which, while conforming
to a fairly standard pattern, is usually suf-
ficiently comprehensive and ambiguous to
admit of varied interpretations and to
"mean all things to all persons". The can-
didates themselves are the most conspicu-
ous interpreters and throughout late Sep-
tember and October they speak frequently
and at length. Senators, Representatives,
Cabinet members, and numerous local po-
litical figures are pressed into service; they
speak less often, under less auspicious cir-
cumstances, but in more pointed and vig-
orous terms. For many years the major
party candidates travelled over a large area
to make personal appearances (especially
the doubtful areas) but the radio and
movie have partially replaced this "swing
around the circuit"; the voter may now
easily hear his President in the front room
and see him in the local movie-house.
Newspaper columns are filled with cam-
paign manoeuvres and the editorial pages
of many papers are frankly partisan, in
some instances reprinting verbatim the
publicity releases from the appropriate na-
tional committee. Billboards, pamphlets,
placards, magazines, buttons, stickers,
streamers — all demand attention and old-
time pageantry is recaptured with rallies,
barbecues, picnics, clam bakes, torchlight
parades, sound trucks, etc. Our modern
devices are more mechanical and permit
a wider coverage but the appeals and show-
manship of the last century are still funda-
mentally unchanged.

Campaign Methods

the individual as the matrix of professional
training. I am quite aware that there are
man>' persons — perhaps there are some
right liere — who think that the supply
of human talent in tliis world is so small
that we cannot expect very many talented
— even reasonably talented — individuals
'among teachers; and that therefore it is
not worthwhile to try to develop the per-
sonality of teachers but is worthwhile only
to train them to execute programs. That
the supply of talent or superior intelli-
gence is fairly meager, is not a new dis-
covery. It is an old fact. It does not, how-
ever, justify shifting the emphasis in the
'preparation of teachers from personal de-
velopment to program execution, in pre-
paring teachers for the instruction and lead-
ership of children. And especially in pre-
Daring them to instruct and lead children
Aath respect to wholesome living, they
nust be guaranteed experience out of
yhich may come understanding and ap-
ireciation of wholesome living."

These two ideas — one of the essential
Mature of the educational process and the
ither, the primary importance of educating
persons for teaching, rather than of train-
ing agents to execute programs, have been

remain respectable and keep Ins .itt.uk
upon a relatively high plane while his
satellites, with or without authorization,
deliver the hotly blows at or near the belt.

There is always a more or less concerted
effort by a candidate to identify himself
and his party with virtues which have a
nearly universal appeal; prosperity, liberty,
justice, economy, law enforcement are
among these. Personal characteristics of
sportsmanship, sophistication, family lov-
ing, church-going, hard-working, arc culti-
vated with the same deliberate caution as
their counterparts are avoided. Particularly
unsavory are identifications with "isms",
agitator, dictator, war-monger, tool of spe-
cial interests, corruptionists. etc. In the
closing weeks of the campaign, however.
when the battle is hottest and the strug-
gle most desperate, name-calling is a fa-
vorite reliance and each candidate will find
himself knee-deep in the pristine virtues
attributed to him by his political friends
and at the same time reeking with the vices
heaped upon him by his political enemies.

Sloganeers, song-writers, cartoonists,
journalists, masters of invective and in-
nuendo — craftsmen of all kinds are called
upon and each does his part. As a people
we love and enjoy a show and our prcsi
dential campaigns are among the finest
produced anywhere. Political leaders have
for generations "pointed with pride and
viewed with alarm"; vet there is a general
agreement that the overwhelming major
ity of the voters are totally unaffected by
the campaign, having previously concluded
that they will continue to support "their"
party. At best, therefore, political cam
paigns can only influence the doubtful
vote, that is, approximately one vote in
five. Yet, the political campaign is a ti
tank contest and every American keenly
anticipates the presidential campaign.

40 Gridmen Are Asked
To Report Labor Day

Letters have been sent out to 40 Mary-
land gridmen to report on Labor Day, Sep-
tember 2. to Coaches Jack Faber, Al
Heagy and Al Woods and it is expected
that the entire number will answer the
call.

Fourteen of tbose called are letter men
from last year, 10 others were on the var-
sity squad last Fall, and 16 are rookies
from the 1939 freshman outfit that won
two games, lost two and tied one.

Only three of the 14 letter men slated
to return were regulars last Fall, although
several others were near-regulars.

Tackles Offer Task

Mankind's biggest task appears to be
to fill the shoes of Ralph Albarano, ace
tackle; Bob Brown, another good tackle,
who was retarded by injuries all last sea-
son; George Lawrence, guard, and John
Boyda, Pershing Mondorff and Frank Skot-
nicki, backs. Albarano, Lawrence and Boy-
da were the greatest losses.

In fact, it will be difficult to find a
heavy-duty back as efficient as Boyda was
last year.

Maryland's squad also is comparatively
light and lacks the experience of rival out-
fits. There are only half a dozen on the
squad who reach 190 and only two go to
200.

List Of Letter Men

Letter men to return are:

Dick Shaffer, Frank Dwyer and Leo
Mueller, ends, who saw more than 50 per
cent action; Bill Krouse and Ralph Burlin,
who were reserve tackles; George Gienger,
regular, and John Morton, guards; Bob
Smith, regular, and Jim Wharton, centers,
both of whom were out of the last two
games because of injuries; Joe Murphy,
Mearle DuVall, Bernie Ulman, Fred Wid-
ener and Milton Lumsden, backs, with
only the first named as a regular.

40 Gridmen Are Asked
To Report Labor Day

(Continued from Page 8)
Some Capable Sophs
Leading sophomore recruits are:
Reginald Vincent and Luther Conrad,
tackles; John Sansone and Lohr Dunlap,
guards; Don Shockey, a husky fullback;
fohn Gilmore, Louis Chacos, and Harold
Berry, other fairsized backs, and Joe Hoop-
2ngardner, a scat back. These and some
Dthers should help considerably.

Maryland will be the underdog in seven
Df its nine games. It has the edge, of
:ourse, on Hampden-Sydney in material,
lppears to be just about on a par with
Western Maryland, but does not closely
natch the squads of the other teams on
:he schedule.

Penn Is Tough Foe

Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, on Oc-
:ober 5, is a particularly tough spot, as the
Red and Blue is picked to be one of the
Sast's outstanding outfits.

Maryland purposely has left November
I open and the Terps doubtless will need
hat breathing spell.

The University Serves
State Organizations

The old campus is constantly in use
serving the various interest of the people
of the State. During the week of June 17
more than a thousand women of the Home-
makers Clubs assembled on the campus
for a week of study and lecture.

Many subjects for the betterment of all
conditions in the rural areas were discussed.
The popularity of the course, under the
direction of Miss Venia M. Kellar, is shown
by its growth in a span of not many years
from a few hundred to more than a thou-
sand.

Later in the year the 4 II Club boys
spend a week on the campus; Canners' As-
sociation, the Bridge Inspectors' Associa-
tion, the Poultry Association, the Horticul-
ture Society, the Volunteer Firemen's
Short Courses, and many others will meet.

The University of Maryland serves the
State.

Fellow Alumni:

A new college year is about to begin.
Though \vc arc advancing in years, I feel

sure this season will bring fond memories
of our college clays. Reports indicate there
will be 3,000 undergraduate students reg-
istered at College Park; also 500 post
graduate and spe-
cial students. When
I entered College
Park in September.
l ( )]s, there were
250 in the whole

student body, so
you can see there
certainly has been a
tremendous growth

The date agreed upon is Saturday, October
12th, from morning 'til midnight. A pro-
gram of events has been arranged which
leases not a dull moment. Register at the

Football, naturally, is the big attraction,
but a variety of entertainment will add
spice to the program. A collegiate tradi-

freshmen and sophomores in their annual
tug-of war. The event will be conducted
on the banks of the famous Paint Branch.
Another Fall sport is the cross country race
of the harriers, at which time both fresh-
men and varsity teams will match strides
and stamina with the representation from
Virginia. The freshmen start the day's
events by engaging Dickinson Seminary in
a gridiron contest. All these events take
place in the forenoon.

"M'' Club Meeting
The annua] meeting of the "XT' Club
will be held at noontime, preceded by a
luncheon in the University Dining Hall.
Dr. A. Kirkland Beslcy, 73, President of
the Club and General Chairman of Home
coming, will preside. All other Alumni are
invited to lunch in the University Cafe-
teria, located in the University Dining Hall.

Tydings Trophy

of the booted pigskin will start the annual
gridiron clash between the Cavaliers of
Virginia and the Terps of Maryland for
the coveted Tydings Trophy, presented by
the Honorable Millard F. Tydings, '10,
United States Senator from Mankind.
When the football players take their half-
time breathing spell student organizations
will entertain with their original designs in
a float parade.

Team Of 1915
I lonored guests of the day will be those
boys who wore the gridiron moleskins 25
years ago. These former gridiron heroes
will be guests of the Athletic Board at the
football game and will occupy a special

All during the day the famous old Ross-

homes will be dressed in gay color in keep-
ing with the spirit of the gay holiday.
While strolling about the campus, visit
your favorite faculty member and renew
old acquaintances.

Special conveniences for ladies are avail-
able in the new Home Economics Building,
also the Girls' Dormitories.

Philadelphia Alumni Rally
Before Penn.-Md. Game

The General Alumni Society of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania has cordially in-
vited the Alumni of the University of
Maryland to a luncheon before the Penn-
sylvania-Maryland football game on Sat-
urday, October 5th, and which the Phila-
delphia group of the University of Mary-
land is assisting in sponsoring.

Luncheon will be served in the Dr. John
I louston room of the new and enlarged
Houston Hall, 341" Spruce Street, just
three blocks from Franklin Field, Phila-
delphia, Pa., from 11:30 A. M. to 1:43
P. M. The luncheon charge is one dollar.
Marylanders are expected to be on hand
by 12:30.

Convenient parking areas for the lunch-
eon and the football game may be found
north of Franklin Field with entrance on
33rd Street, and south of Franklin Field
with entrance on South Street. Parking on
the streets in the vicinity of Houston Hall
is prohibited; however, some parking areas
arc available on Chestnut Street between
39th and 40th.

Reservations must be made and paid for
in advance to assure luncheons for all who
may wish to be served. Only limited pro-

1940 ATLANTIC FOOTBALL BROADCASTS

Again this year. The Atlantic Refining Company
will broadcast your football games.

As in other years, great care will be taken to give
yon the most accurate and exciting "word pictures"'
possible. Your commentator has been carefully
trained in the art of play-by-play announcing. He
knows football through and through. He will use
advertising announcements sparingly — never when
they might interrupt your enjoyment of the game.

When you are unable to attend one of the games
listed below, tune in the most convenient radio sta-
tion and enjoy thrilling football with Atlantic.

HAVE YOU TRIED ATLANTIC WHITE FLASH PLUS?

If not, pet a tankful of this new motor fuel today. Its unu-
sual mileage, anti-knock and acceleration qualities were

Thoughts of Interest:

Aviation

Dr. John E. Younger
Chairman ot the Department of Mechanical Engineering

This school year the University of Mary-
land will graduate the first class in the
aeronautical option of the department of
mechanical engineering. While this is the
first year that the complete program in
aeronautics will be given, instruction has
been given during the last two years, con-
sistent with the ability of the students, in
specialized aeronautical subjects. This has
enabled students from the graduating
classes of mechanical engineering for the
last two years to find positions in the aero
nautical industry. Last year, about 50 per
cent of the mechanical engineering class
found positions in aircraft factories.

The new aeronautical laboratory is rap-
idly taking shape. At the present time the
wind tunnel is complete, and is now ready
for the installation of the special wind tun
n el instruments and other equipment. It
is expected that this equipment will be
completely installed in time for the in-
struction of the senior aeronautical engi-
neers this year. While the University will
have an excellent wind tunnel for student
instruction, the tunnel is not large enough
for scientific investigations and for com-
mercial testing. Modern wind tunnels de-
signed for research and commercial work
must be quite large, and require a very
high wind velocity. Such a tunnel would
cost several hundred thousand dollars.

The aeronautical engineering laboratory
is designed primarily for specialization in
aircraft design and construction. This
choice is made because about 95 per cent
of the engineering personnel of aircraft
factories are employed in design and con-
struction of airplanes.

The equipment which is now being set
up in the laboratory will be sufficient to
carry out all tests necessary in the devel-
opment of an airplane and to construct
small duralumin and stainless steel air
planes. A partial list of this machinery is as
follows: Spot welder, heat treating furnace,
Strength testing machines, automatic air

hammers, machines for working the metal
to the proper shape, and auxiliary equip-
ment.

The University is cooperating with the
National Government in its defense pro-
gram in the following manner:

( 1 ) By participation in the Civil Aero-
nautics Authority Flight Training Pro-
gram. The University has graduated one
hundred students from this flight training
program to date. The flight instruction for
the University of Maryland quota of the
Civil Aeronautics program is given by the
Brinekcrhoff Hying Service at the College
Park Airport.

( 2 ) The University is cooperating with
the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics in conducting research on sev-
eral phases of aircraft construction. Funds
are provided for this research by the Na-
tional Government. Capable students are
selected to participate in this research pro-
gram as a part of their engineering training.

A new faculty member, an assistant pro
fessor, was added to the staff of mechanical
engineering this year to take charge of the
aeronautical engineering laboratory and as-
sist in instruction in aeronautical subjects.

the best, considering the material at hand
The coaches can do only so much — the
enthusiasm and interest must be furnished
by the Alumni. Mankind has a limited
field from which to draw capable athletes
in comparison to other large State insti-
tutions. We, the Alumni, should encour
age more football training at our various
State high schools and then use our influ-
ence to see that the best material gets to
College Park.

Homecoming
We all should be interested in "Home-
coming Day" on October 12th, when Yir
ginia will meet Maryland. This will mean
plenty of fireworks and should provide an
afternoon of interest and excitement. At
noontime the "M" Club will hold its an-
nual meeting, as usual. An "Alumni Mix
er" and supper will be held immediately
after the football game. One of the high
lights of this occasion will be the return of
the football team of twenty five years ago.

Philadelphia

On October 5th, Maryland will play the
University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia:
this should be an interesting game. The
President and Alumni of the University
of Pennsylvania have invited the President
and Alumni of the University of Maryland
to meet with them jointly at a luncheon
to be held in the west lounge of Houston
Hall, 3417 Spruce Street, Philadelphia,
from 11:30 to 1:45. The charge will be
$1.00 per person. This will be a splendid
opportunity for the President and Alumni
of these great Universities to get together
and exchange ideas of mutual interest. I
sincerely hope that every graduate of Mary-
land located within convenient distance
from Philadelphia will make a special effort
to be present for this luncheon.

I will be looking forward with great
pleasure to seeing you both at Philadelphia
and on "Homecoming Day" at College
Park. Please make a special effort to be
present for both of these occasions and
lend the team a helping hand. The foot
ball boys will need your help and support.

Yours very truly,

Peter W. Chichester, '20,
President

Corkran-grown cantaloupe at Rhodesdale,
Maryland. "Ed" and "Phil" Corkran arc-
earning on the business of producing the
finest cantaloupes, pioneered by their
grandfather main years ago. on the same
farms.

During a recent trip on the Eastern
Shore, your secretary stopped by to sec
"Ed" and found him in the midst of the
harvest. A constant stream of trucks loaded
with cantaloupes pulled up to the assorting
and packing house where they were being
put through a new machine which gives
the cantaloupes a coating of paraffine to
preserve the flavor for a longer period of
time. Practically the entire crop is sent to
New York City.

"Ed". '24, and "Phil", '29, are engaged
in cantaloupe raising; Emory, '18, is in the
trucking business and Orville W., '2d. is

Football Team Should Be Tough To Conquer This Season
If Tackles Are Developed And Injury Jinx Relents

Maryland's football outlook hardly
could be definitely appraised as it put on
the finishing touches for the opening game
with Hampden Sydney at College Park on
September 28th.

In fact, Coaches Jack Faber, Al Woods
and Al Heagy, while they didn't expect to
just skim over the tilt with Hampden-
Sydney, were looking ahead to the first big
test with Penn in Philadelphia on October
5th and the Homecoming clash with Vir-
ginia at College Park a week later.

Mankind scored over the Hampden
Sydney Tigers in the opener last year, 26-0,
md as far as could be ascertained in ad-
vance, they appeared to be about relatively
of the same strength this season. The
Tigers, though, had the benefit of a game
with Washington and Pee as a primer for
the College Park visit, and this added
something to their chances.

Injury Jinx Still Working

The old injury jinx that has been fol-
lowing the Terps for several years had be
gun to get in its work when this was writ
ten and had put Mearle DuVall, clever
passer, ball carrier and kicker, and Dick
Shaffer, leading end, on the shelf for a
spell. They were counted out of the open-
ing test but both were expected to be
ready again in time to figure in the battle
with Penn.

Maryland already had lost Jim Wharton,
clever letter man center, who was ill dur-
ing the Summer and had not sufficiently
recovered to start practice. He's in school
but at the best could not be ready until
the middle of the campaign and may stay
out of the game until next Tall.

The 'Terps, however, arc so well fixed for
centers that they are making a blocking
back of Bob Smith, who rated as the reg-

ular snapper-back for two campaigns. Smith
underwent an operation on his knee during
the Winter and the belief that a blocking
back berth might be easier on him hac
something to do with shifting his position
Blazek Back At Center

Frank Blazek, who starred in the lasl
two 1939 games at center, after Smith arte
Wharton had been put out with injuries
is holding down that job again and appear;
well backed by George Jarmoska, a junioi
college graduate, who is eligible for the
varsity, and John Cordyack. a junior, whe
was converted from a back to a pivot man

If the injury jinx releases its grip, find
ing tackles will be the greatest problem foi
the coaches, and if solved, doubtless woulc
assure a team that would give a good ac
count of itself. Ralph Burlin and Big Bil
Krouse, letter men. and Luther Conrac
and Reginald Vincent, sophs, all are ini

proving and the outlook is t.n from hope
less. Burlin, right now. appears to be the
ate of the pack, .is he is his; and strong
and a hard fighter.

Including Shaffer, then' are three lettei
Hen (.nds, Leo Mueller and Frank Dwyer,
being the others, and Jack Mueller, cousin
of Leo. is showing signs of making all ot
them step fast to hold their jobs,

Guard Positions Well Supported

George Giengei and John Morton, let
ter men. Max Hunt, a junior, and Lohl
Dunlap. a soph, give the Terps pretty good
guard material, and I larold Berry, who was
a blocking hack last year, is crowding for
.recognition

Joe Murphy, little but fleet, smart and
rugged, is the backbone of the backfield
array, which contains other letter men in
DuVall. Hemic Ulman, Fred Widener and
Lumsden, the last two named blockers.

Elmer Rigby, out .ill last year with a
broken hand, and Sophs Don Shockey, 6
foot 198 pounder; Jack Gilmore and Joe
Hoopcngardncr also are very much in the
finning. In fact, Maryland needs a heavy
luty hack and it is essential that Shockey
ome through to fill the bill. He's im-
proving every day and he has the speed
ind other physical assets to make a hum
linger.

Probable Starting Line-Up

Disregarding injuries, if Maryland had
o pick a starting team at this moment, it
lkcly would be as follows:

L. Mueller and Shaffer, ends; Krouse or
ppnrad and Burlin. tackles; Gienger and
Norton, guards; Blazek. center; Murphy.

tacks.

\mong these 13 there are 10 letter men,
he veteran Blazek and Shockey and Con-

[d, sophs, being the exceptions.
Faber, Heagy and Woods comprise an
, telligcnt trio from every standpoint.
. h hey and the gridders are working their
.eads off to get some place, and 100 per
lent effort never has gone unrepaid.

i Frank Blazek who. without previous ex
erience in the position, stepped into the
(reach at center and starred against V. M.
I and Syracuse in the Terps' last two
Simes of 1939, is an honor student in the
Jollegc of F.nginecring. He came to Mary
ijnd from Baltimore Poly.

Maryland will play homecoming games
on successive Saturdays. The Terps stage

taining Virginia October 12th and the fol-

Maryland would have a good chance of
winning the football sprint and mile relay

Moore, '28, Top Pilot
On American Air Lines

From Nashville, Tennessee, to New

York City is the flying route for W. H.
Moore, '28, a pilot for the American Air
Lines. Nashville is the second terminal in
the transcontinental route and Dallas. Tex
as. the third. Washington is the first.

.Moore has watched the growth of the
campus from the air for the past ten years,
hut this summer was the first time he has
been on the campus for some time.
Overnight

As told by Moore, travel by air across the
continent now is just an overnight jaunt.
Passengers board the plane in New York
at 5:00 P. M. and they arc served dinner
aboard the plane and berths are made
down by ten o'clock, which is about the
tune they are leaving Nashville. Here the
plane crew changes but the passengers do
not. The crew reaches the central room by
a trap door in the top of the plane. Next
morning passengers are awakened in time
to have breakfast before landing at Los
Angeles by 7:40 A. M. This gives business
men time to do business one day in New-
York and the next day in Los Angeles.

The same time for leaving Los Angeles
is used as leaving New York, but do you
know an east bound plane usually makes
better time than a west bound plane, be-
cause eighty per cent of the time, west
bound planes have a prevailing head wind?
Radio Beams

The usual height at which a plane flies is
from eight to nine thousand feet, seldom
over twelve thousand. The east bound
planes fly at the odd height, keeping to the
right of the radio beams and the west
bound planes are flown in the even heights.
Radio beams guide planes for approximate-
ly one hundred miles in each direction;
however, beam stations are usually not
over one hundred miles apart.

The planes capacities arc twenty-one
passengers in day travel and fourteen pass-
engers for night travel. A plane weighs
28,000 pounds with a full load and car-
ries 822 gallons of gas.

Moore relates an incident in picking up
last-minute mail; one clay he found a letter
directed to friends of his who lived near
his home at Hovel. Maryland, in Mont-
gomery County. He could have delivered
the letter that clay as his route carried him

Army Announcements

Air Corps

The Air Corps of the Third Corps Area
contemplates in the near future to order
certain college graduates to study meteor-
ology at Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, California Institute of Technology
and New York University on a Flying Ca-
det status.

The requirements for meteorology Fly-
ing Cadets are that the applicant be un-
married, between the ages of 20 and 2".
a citizen of the United States, of excellent
character, sound of physique, and a col-
lege graduate who has specialized in the
sciences. It is not necessary that you be a
member of the O. R. C. or a graduate of
R. O. T. C. Upon completion of the
course, you will be commissioned in the
Air Corps Reserve as meteorologists and
placed on extended active duty with units
of the Regular Army Air Corps in the
grade of second lieutenant.

While pursuing the course of instruc-
tion cadets are paid a monthly salary of
$75.00, with quarters, food and clothing
furnished by the Government.

Applicants who are considered educa-
tionally qualified by the Chief of Air Corps
will be exempt from the regular Air Corps
physical examination by a Flight Surgeon.
At the proper time Form 63 physical ex-
amination will be forwarded directly by
the Chief of Air Corps.

Quartermaster Corps

There is a shortage of Quartermaster
Corps Reserve Officers with Remount and
Motor Transportation experience. It is de-
sired to obtain qualified officers of com-
pany grade to meet this shortage by trans-
fer from other branches.

It is requested that all Reserve officers
be informed of this opportunity and that
all requests for transfer be forwarded to
the War Department.

Engineers
This headquarters has been informed by
Headquarters Third Corps Area that acl-

over the letter's destination but Uncle
Sam delivers his own mail. Moore loves
flying and said that the American Air
l.mes expect to haul a million passengers
this year.

OCTOBER, 1940

OT Europe, not even
those outlying naval bases that
protect our shores — America's
first line of defense is American
industry. It is to industry that
the nation looks today for the
armaments to protect America's
high living standards, to de-
fend the American way of life.

In the last two generations
. American industry has built a
great nation. Its workmen, scien-
tists, and engineers have helped
produce and put to work more
than one-third of the world's
electric power and one-half of

its mechanical energy. They have given us electric lights
in 24 million American homes and electric refrigerators
in 13 million — conveniences which represent the highest
standard of living and the greatest industrial achieve-
ment in the world. And the manpower, the inventive
and manufacturing genius, the experience, the daring
to tackle difficult tasks assets which have helped to
produce this high standard of living — are among Amer-
ica's strongest resources today.

Not a cannon, but the 130,000-pound shaft for a great electric generator

being built in the General Electric shops in Schenectady. When completed,

the generator will deliver 75,000 horsepower of electricity.

Industry today undertakes the task of building, not
onlv armaments, but, equally important, the machines
that can be used to manufacture these armaments in
quantity sufficient for any emergency. And General
Electric scientists, engineers, and workmen, who for
more than 60 years have been putting electricity to
work in America's peacetime pursuits, are today turning
to the new job -the job of defending the benefits elec-
tricity has helped to create.

G-E research and engineering have saved the public from ten to one hundred dollars
for every dollar they have earned for General Electric

Fellow Alumni:

During October I had the pleasure of at
tending two interesting events connected
with our University. On October 5, at the
invitation of the Alumni Association of the
University (if Pennsylvania, President Byrd
and about ill Alum
ni attended an in
formal luncheon at
the University of
Pennsylvania prcvi
ons to the football
game. We were
cordially received
and entertained by
members of the
faculty and Alumni
of the University of Pennsylvania. It was
interesting to attend a meeting of this kind
where ideas of mutual interest could be
exchanged.

Our Homecoming Day at College Park
on October 12 was well attended. On be
half of the Alumni Association I want to
thank the various Deans for then splendid
cooperation in calling their Alumni groups
together for the purpose of assisting in the
reorganization of our Alumni Association.
The Deans of most of the colleges were
successful in having sufficient Alumni pres
cut to perfect a skeleton organization and
select representatives to the general Vlum
ni Executive Board.

The football game between Maryland
and Virginia was well attended, exciting

Eighteenth Annual Homecoming

Most Colorful Occasion

Homecoming at College Park this year
was a very colorful occasion. The beautiful
autumn colors were at their height, mak-
ing a splendid background for the f rater
nity and sorority house decorations. There
were many attractive decorations and after
a close judging inspection first honors
went to Sigma Phi Sigma, who were also
showing off their new home. Second hon-
ors went to Kappa Kappa Gamma. The
theme of all decorations was "welcome
Alumni" and many old grads did visit their
respective homes during the day and Sat-
urday night.

Besley Chairman

The general Homecoming program be-
gan the night before with a pep rally,
bonfire, and street dance, led by John
Rcchord. President of the Student Govern-
ment Association; Bob Rice, and Mary Ann
Griffith, the committee in charge. S'atur
day morning things were in full swing,
with the freshman footballers opening the
program by tying Dickinson Seminary, 7-7.
Then the cross-country team won from
Virginia. At noon the annual luncheon
and meeting of the "M" Club was held
at the University Dining Hall with Dr. A.
K. Besley, '13, President of the "M" Club,
presiding. At the meeting election of offi-
cers for the ensuing year was as follows:
Mr. James W. Stevens, '17, football and
track. President; Mr. M. B. "Mike" Ste-
vens, '29, football, basket ball and base-
ball, Vice-President.

In the afternoon a really good football
game took place with the only exception
that the Tcrps were on the short end of
the score, Virginia winning, 19-7. Actually
on several occasions Maryland might have-
scored, making it a closer game if not win
ning for the Tcrps.

Alumni Mixer

Following the game the campus and en-
virons became a beehive. The Alumni
mixer and buffet supper attracted many
old grads to the Women's Field House,
and also all fraternity and sororities held
open house to their returning grads and a
generally make merry atmosphere predom-
inated. At 9 the Alumni Homecoming
Dance with a battle of music between two

Thoughts of Interest:

How A President Is Elected

by Dr. Hugh A. Bonk

Professor in Political Science

On August 4. 1940. the first Gallup
poll in the current presidential nice an-
nounced that at that time Wendell Will-
kic would have been elected President
over Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Elec-
toral College by a score of 304 to 227 for
President Roosevelt. It pointed out that
this was a margin of thirty-eight electoral
votes more than the necessary 266 to elect.
Simultaneously it was stated that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had 51 per cent, of the
popular votes to 49 per cent, for Mr.
Willkie!

At once this threw thousands of readers
into a state of confusion and focused at-
tention on the Electoral College system of
choosing a President; a system whose de-
velopment has made it unique in world
history. For example, students ask me —
Does this mean, that a man can become
President of the United States without re-
ceiving at least a vote of approval from 50
or more per cent, of the voters? Would
not Mr. Willkie, if elected under these
circumstances, be legally and morally ob-
ligated to resign in favor of the President
in order to preserve the principle of "ma-
jority rule"? The answer to the first in-
quiry is in the affirmative and to the sec-
ond in the negative.

This amazing Electoral College method
has been fraught with complexity and con-
fusion since 1800 and its ramifications to
the political theorists arc many. To the
layman, however, mention of a few facts
as to its origin and development as well as
its characteristics may help to clarify the
atmosphere surrounding this device.
Origin And Development

The method of electing a President was
one of the most difficult questions facing
the makers of the Constitution in 1787.
Direct election by the people was consid
crcd and rejected; ostensibly because of
scattered population which in turn made
it difficult for the rank and file to inform
themselves of the qualifications of the

candidates and therefore the easy prey of
demagogues. Election of the President by
the Congress was also considered inadvis-
able because it would violate the doctrine
of separation of powers and would fail to
give the executive a desired independence.
Alexander Hamilton proposed the medium
of an "electoral college" which seemed at
the moment a happy solution. Briefly, the
plan called for each state to have as many
electors as it had national senators and
representatives. For example, originally and
at present Maryland has six representatives
and two senators which gives her a total
of 8 electors. The state legislature was
empowered to designate the method of
choosing these electors. As late as the Civil
War some legislatures insisted on naming
the electors although most of them aban-
doned this practice long before this time
in favor of direct election by the people.

These electors were to weigh, conscien-
ciously, the qualifications of persons avail-
able for the Presidency and cast their bal-
lots accordingly. However, this plan
worked as intended for only two or three
elections. By 1800 the electors were put
before the voters by the political parties
and it was known in advance the candidate
for whom they would vote. This has con-
tinued for 140 years now and today there
arc only a handful of states wherein the
names of the electors even appear on the
ballot. In Maryland the names of the elec-
tors will be omitted from the ballot for
the first time this November.

On next November 5 the voter will go
to the polls and check the names of one of
the presidential nominees. Theoretically
he will be voting for eight men (electors)
who will go to Annapolis the first Monday
after the second Wednesday in December
(December 16) and cast their ballots for
the presidential and vice presidential nom-
inees as pledged in advance of the elec-
tion, provided of course that this presi-
dential nominee received the largest num-

ber of popular votes in the state. If the
voter cast his ballot for a nominee who ,
failed to receive the most popular votes in
the state then his vote for all practical
electoral purposes is wasted because all of
the electoral votes of a state are cast for
the successful candidate rather than on a
pro rata basis.

To follow the story, the electors of each
state will mail their ballots to the presi-
dent of the United States Senate. On Jan
uary 6, 1941, the members of both houses
of the Congress will gather and the elec
toral ballots will be opened and tallied to
ascertain who received a majority. Then
the winners will be formally announced to
the country which had known this result
for two months. This is because the elec
tors in each state are honor bound to cast
a unanimous ballot for the candidate who
received a plurality or majority of the
state's popular vote. The results of the
popular vote, of course, are usually known
a few hours after the closing of the polls,
therefore the outcome of the election is
likewise known in advance of the meeting
of the electors.

"Minority" Presidents

The fact that the entire electoral vote
of a state falls to the candidate who polls
a mere plurality of the popular vote not
only leads the party managers to concen-
trate their efforts upon populous, doubtful
states, but also accounts for the election of
a "minority president." The latter is one
who received fewer than half of the total
popular vote cast but by obtaining popular
pluralities in a sufficient number of states
was elected.

Strictly speaking, the United States has
had many minority Presidents as evidenced
by the fact that in only 10 out of the last
16 elections has the successful candidate
received a popular as well as electoral ma-
jority. The most sensational illustration of
this was in elections of 1876 and 1888.
In the former, Hayes was elected over Til-
den although the unsuccessful nominee
received nearly 300,000 more votes or 50.9
per cent, to 48.9 per cent, for Hayes.
Cleveland received more than 100,000
votes in 1888 than did his opponent, Har-
rison, yet received only 42 per cent, of
the electoral vote. The above cases are
conspicuous because minor parties captured
such a small percentage of the popular

Maryland's Next Battle
Is With Georgetown

Maryland's football team now is looking
to its game with Georgetown at College
Park on November 9, and the Terps had
two weeks to prep for the powerful Hoyas
after battling Western Mankind in the
Baltimore Stadium on Friday night, Oc-
tober 25.

The Terps, though, do not rate to have
a victory chance in the seventh modern
meeting with the Hoyas, so that George-
town appeals certain to take a 4-3 lead in
the series.

Each has won three games, the 20-0
count by which the Hoyas took the hon-
ors last Fall being the widest margin
cither has registered.

Record Of Past Tilts

Here arc the scores of the modem
games:

1934— U. of M.. 6; Georgetown, 0.
1935— U. of M., 12; Georgetown, 6.
1936 — U. of M, 6; Georgetown, 7
1937— U. of M., 12; Georgetown, 2
1938— U. of M., 7; Georgetown, 14
1939— U. of M., 0; Georgetown, 20

Georgetown, then one of the powers in
football, used to beat the Terps regularly
in a breather when the College Park in-
stitution was the Maryland Aggies. Here
are the scores of those early tilts:
1899— Georgetown, 17; M. A. C,
1902— Georgetown, 27; M. A. C,
1903— Georgetown, 28; M. A. C,
1904— Georgetown, 22; M. A. C,
1906— Georgetown, 28; M. A. C,
1907— Georgetown, 10; M. A. C, 0.
Simply Are Overmatched

The Terps, who had not won a game
going into the Western Maryland clash,
had played fine football in bowing to
Virginia and Florida in the two preceding
games.

In fact, Maryland outgained Virginia in
bowing by a count of 19 to 6. and lost to
Florida by only 19 to after playing the
'Gators to nc score in the first half of the
battle. Then the breaks, the heat and some

Joe Murphy

Bob Smmii

They are bulwarks of the Terp team, Murphy's kicking and Smith's

defensive work being shining lights. They also have acted as captain in

alternate games this season

bad forward pass defensive play enabled
Florida to delight a Homecoming crowd
at Gainesville.

Maryland's game with Virginia at Col-
lege Park on October 12 also was the
Terps' Homecoming affair and the old
grads were well pleased with the way the
team performed against a Cavalier outfit
that possessed much greater assets.

Florida also had a squad that greatly
overmatched Maryland in manpower.
Frosh Not Big-Time

Maryland has a fair freshman squad, one
that possibly may be slightly better than
normal, but it is not a picked aggrega-
tion as some folks were prone to say was
the case.

In fact, "home" talent, as usual, pre
dominates, with State boys being the real
stars. Leaders on the team arc Jack Wright,
back; Louis Hcsson, end, and Tony Nardo,
guard, all from Baltimore City College;
Tommy Mont, a back, from Alleghany
High of Cumberland; Bill Taylor from
McDonogh, who was an end there and
now is playing center, and Dick Alex-
ander, another wingman, who came from

West Nottingham Academy of Colora,
Maryland.

George Barnes and Evans, the latter
who never played high school football, are
two District of Columbia youths who join
with Wright and Mont to complete Man-
land's backfield.

Austin Frey, a tackle from York, Pal
is the only other standout on the squad,
and he remained out of school for a year
before coming to Maryland. This is plenty
of proof that his services were not sought
by anyone as a gridder.

Tall Hagerstown Lad

Another boy who may develop is Ken
net Daniels, a six-foot five-inch, 180-
pound lineman from Hagerstown. He
played tackle for Eddie Sender's high
school eleven but has been running at
end for the Terps.

So those who have been saving that
Maryland got a big-time freshman squad
as a prelude to hiring a big-time coach
had better quit dreaming.

Roy Mackcrt, head of the Phys. Ed
department, is in charge of the Frosh, and
is being aided bv Coleman Headley and

Maryland Alumni Weu's

Mike Sargent, who completed their grid
eareers on the l l )3S team. Headley now is
a farm owner near Laurel. Md.

The Frosh, however, did well in then
opening game by holding a heavier and
more experienced Dickinson Seminary (a
junior college I to a " 7 store. Wright.
Mont, Alexander and Frej starred in tins
game.

all of them tough picking, are as follows:

Harriers Defeat Virginia

The Terps chalked up one victory on

lomecoming Day, the varsity cross-coun-

ry team scoring over Virginia by 21-46,

mile the frosli grid tilt was in progress.

Tommy Fields, one of Maryland's track
ices, led the way home in the good time
)f 2 3:34. with Gene Ochsenreiter, an
)thcr Terp. next in line.

Bob Condon and Harford Cronin, Mary
anders. tied for fifth. Bob Montgomery
completed the Terp scoring lint Joe Dev-
'in got home almost as soon.
] Lcn Tucker and John Forsyth, who were
bird and fourth, respectively, were the
inly Virginians to beat the Terps to the

HOW A PRESIDENT IS ELECTED

(Continued from Page (>

\ote as to make no difference in the out
come.
On several occasions minoi parties hav<

piled up enough populu votes with the
lcsult thai .■ minority President from on(
of the two majoi parties was elected Oul
standing illustrations ol tins occurrenc(
were the in si term elections of Lincoln
and Wilson who received 39.9 pei cenl
and 41.8 per cent, of the populai vote re
spectively but at the same tunc received
electoral majorities of 59.4 pei cent, and
81.9 per cent. A few elections mav be
chosen at random to indicate the remark
able discrepancy between populai and
electoral vote.

Electoral Popular

Election Name Vote Vote

IS 36 Buchanan 58.8 43.3

ISM) Garfield 57.9 48.3

1900 McKinley 65.3 51.6

1928 Hoover 83.6 5S.9

1036 Roosevelt 98.4 60.7

It is interesting to note that in the last

election Mr. Landon received about 3~

per cent, of the popular vote but only

about 1.5 per cent, of the electoral vote!

A glance at the electoral majority of a

given election is extremely unlikely to give

an accurate reflection of a candidate's pop

ularity and strength.

Finally ;t may be added that it is pos-
sible theoretically for a man to become
President by receiving the electoral votes
of twelve states although his opponent
might carry the other 36 states by tremen
clous majorities. If one will add together
the electoral vote of the eleven most pop
ulous states in the Union the total will
reach 258 votes. To this may be added the
votes of a twelfth state, Maryland, and the
candidate would have a clear majority!
Suggested Improvements
In answer to the question raised orig-
inally, minority Presidents have been elect-
ed and have never felt legally or morally
obligated to resign in favor of an oppo
nent securing a popular majority or plur-
ality. Today the Electoral College is a
mere recording machine, obviously out-
moded, and no longer serving the purpose
for which it was intended. It is not sur-
prising that proposals for altering this sys

Second, voting bj states should continui

but election would take place be di

vote of the people on a basis of plurality
in a majority (25) of the states. Obvious
1\ the large states would object to this.

Third, Senator \onis of Nebraska has
sponsored a constitutional amendment
(which twice narrowly failed to secure the
necessary two thirds vote in the Senate i
to provide for the translation of popular
votes into electoral votes with the Individ
ual electoral vote awarded to the canch
date receiving a popular plurality in the
state. This represents a considerable mi
provement over the present system,

Among electoral experts still another
plan is favored. This consists of following
the scheme of Senator Xorris except for
awarding the electoral vote individuallj
in the state upon the basis of a plurality
in each Congressional or electoral district.
Again in these third and fourth plans state-
interest and party interest present formid
able obstacles. In all cases a constitutional
amendment would be necessary which in
and of itself constitutes an important bar
rier to reform.

Perhaps this brief description of the
election of the Chief Executive of the
world's largest democracy has raised more
questions than it has answered. If so. it
may lead the reader to seek further light
on the subject and to discuss the prob
lem with others. Eventually civic interest
may lead to action. Meanwhile the present
system will continue to record, and prob
ably not too badly, the result of the "great
est show on earth." an American prcsidcn
tial campaign.

Dr. Sherman, '93, Honored
By Economic Association

Dr. Henry Clapp Sherman, '93, Pro
fessor of Chemistry at Columbia Univer-
sity and internationally known for his re-
search in nutrition, received the Borden
Award for outstanding research from the
American Home Economics Association in
a convention this summer.

Nominated by the association for the
honor. Dr. Sherman received a gold medal
and $1,000 from W. A. Wcntworth of
the Borden Company. New York.

"No one has added more to our knowl-
edge of milk as a food and its place in
the diet," stated Helen Judy Bond, Presi-
dent of the Association, in announcing
the award. "Dr. Sherman has demonstrat-
ed in many different ways the wisdom of
spending one-fifth or more of the food
money on milk.

"The important practical results of his
investigations are our present dietary
standards."

Cited as outstanding contributions ot
Dr. Sherman are the following:

His proof that the equivalent of a quart
of milk a day in the diet produces animals
superior in all respect to those receiving
the equivalent of a pint.

His showing that this good effect is due
not only to the calcium of milk but also
to its vitamin A content.

His demonstration of the superior avail-
ability of calcium in milk to that in veg-
etables for retention by children.

His showing that with increased intake
of milk up to one quart daily the reten-
tion of calcium also increases.
Played Football

Dr. Sherman, a native of Ashgrovc, Va.,
received his graduate degrees at Columbia
University. During his college days he was
a member of the first football team of the
College Park Schools of the University. He
is author ot many standard works on nu-
trition, he received the Nichols Medal of
the American Chemical Society and the
1933 medal of the American Institute of
Chemists.

Medical Alumnus
Honored For Services

The Addison Community Hospital,
built largely by volunteer labor and at a
cost of $15,000, was dedicated recently
as a monument to Dr. Bowers H. Growt,
former Baltimore gynecologist, who came
here twenty years ago to become the
"country doctor."

The ceremonies marked an achievement
in the lives of the 462 residents of this
rural community in Lenawee County in
southern Michigan toward which they have
been striving for twenty years.

They've had a hospital of sorts since
Dr. Growt first came to town — a hos-
pital believed to be the first of its kind in
rural Michigan ■ — ■ originally located in a
rented store building and then in a brick
farmhouse.

Dr. Growt, now 49, served as an officer
in the United States Medical Corps over-
seas in the World War, when he was
fresh out of Baltimore City College and
the University of Maryland, from which
he was graduated in 1916. He was gyne-
cologist in the Maryland General Hospital
when, in 1920, he decided to risk going it
alone in a medical practice at Addison.

He came to Michigan expecting to es-
tablish a practice in a populous city. Find-
ing Addison a small rural community with
no hospital nearby and few natural ad-
vantages for a city-trained physician would
have been disheartening to any doctor,
but not for Dr. Growt. He started in to
make the best of what he had.

He established himself so securely that
a year later he returned to Baltimore, mar-
ried his former surgical assistant at Mary-
land General, and brought her out to
Michigan to assist in his practice.

Addison folk responded in kind. Their
loyalty to Dr. Growt was manifest in
community support of his hospital project
when it was little more than a twobed in-
firmary adjunct to his office. In trying to
establish an adequate health center, the
doctor was helped not by Government
aid or large philanthropy but by his farm
neighbors and one-time patients.

They staged benefit shows, dances,
church suppers and rummage sales to help
swell the building fund. Those who
couldn't give money contributed their

Alumnae Attend
Dietetic Convention

Several Alumnae of the College of Home
Economics attended the national conven
tion of the American Dietetic Association,
held in New York the week of October
20. Miss Marie Mourt, Dean of the Col-
lege of Home Economics, was also pres-
ent and had a chance for a short chat with

the Alumnae.

Those who were known to be there
were Mrs. Jesse Muncastar Richardson,
'27, now doing dietetic work for a hos-
pital in Pennsylvania; Miss Ann Harrison,
'30, now Service Representative of Insti-
tute Foods for General Foods — she travels
all over the South; Miss Dorothea Frese
man, '30, now a radio commentator for N.
W. Ayre and Sons, Inc.; Miss Ann Matth
ews, '29, in the Extension Department for
Cornell University; Mrs. Eloise Sargeant
Milner, '32, Department of Institutional
Management of the University of North
Carolina, in charge of cafeterias; Sister
Man- Ann, '40, dietetician of Mothers'
House of Maryknowle Sisters of Ossining,
New York, and Miss Geraldine Parry, '31,
doing hospitalization work in New Jersey.

With The F. B. I.

Among the members of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation we find Dick Nelson,
'33, former Terp grid star, now an agent
in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Thomas
Webb, '32, a former grid luminary for
the Terps, is in Pittsburgh, and Al Water.
'37, a staunch Old Line basketer and
diamonder is an agent in Indianapolis.

time and labor. One of the young mer
who laid bricks hour after hour in the hot
sun this summer without accepting a cent
of pay was a boy whose birth Dr. Growl
had assisted when he first came into the
community.

When neighbors learned the farmhouse
hospital quarters were taking some of the
doctor's personal funds to operate, the
township boards of four adjacent town
ships voted an appropriation to help meel
the burden. They later named a commu
nity hospital board to take this load ofl
the doctor's shoulders entirely.

Thoughts of Interest:

Methods for Selection

bv Rockr M. Bellows

The amazing thing about differences be-
tween people is not that differences exist,
but that they are found in almost unbe-
lievable amounts. The methods of applied
psychology are based upon this very fact
cf large differences between people. Re-
finements in methods of industrial per-
sonnel selection, selection of trainees and
conscripts, and vocational orientation of
youth all depend on techniques for de-
tecting these differences. It will be inter-
esting to give examples of traits in which
people differ a great deal, and to cite uses
nir.de by the applied psychologist of this
variation between individuals.
Differences

A trait that is very important in most
school and many occupational situations is
vocabulary. People differ vastly in the num-
ber of words they are able to use. A recent
nation-wide survey of vocabulary revealed
that the top one per cent of third grade
school children know the meaning of 5
times as many words as the children in
the lowest one per cent. In high school,
the best one of a typical hundred seniors
knew three times as many words as the
lowest one. And vocabulary scores of some
of the pupils (top one per cent) of the
third grade were higher than the poorest
of the high school seniors!

A clever test has been devised and
standardized for measuring reading speed.
Use of this test in many colleges has
shown that college students differ in spite
of the fact that they are supposed to be
pretty much the same. They differ so much
that the slowest student in a typical group
of one hundred sophomores takes the same
length of time to read three or four stan-
dard paragraphs as the fastest one takes to
read 35 — the best is ten times faster
than the slowest!

Workers on jobs have been found to
differ more in job proficiency than most
employers suspect. In evaluating tests for
use in selection of clerical workers the

writer found it necessary first to obtain
production records showing how much
each worker produced for his employer,
then give the tests and get test scores, and
then evaluate the tests by comparing job
performance with test performance. Vari-
ations in job performance, from poorest to
best employe, were much larger than one
would expect. The best worker was pro-
ducing nine times more work units than
the poorest. Results of this kind are not
unusual.

Air Pilots

One phase of the work of the applied
psychologist is the detection of differences,
because this enables better selection of the
most suitable candidates for training and
for jobs. Several studies of research and
application of techniques for selection are
under way in the Department of Psychol-
ogy. Included in this work are investiga-
tions for developing methods of selecting
and training air pilots, and methods for
classification of conscripts.

Another aspect of the work on individ-
ual differences is the testing and counsel-
ing clinic, designed for educational and
occupational orientation of University stu-
dents.

Applications

Air Pilots — A program for research on
selection and training of air pilots, com-
prising some 25 university research centers,
has been inaugurated and sponsored by
the National Research Council. The na-
tional program is conducted under the
direction of Dr. John G. Jenkins, Chairman
of the Department of Psychology.

Two studies are in progress at College
Park. One consists of working out accurate
methods for designating degrees of profi-
ciency in learning to fly, so that it may be
feasible to select the more proficient pilots
for advanced training, and also to select,
by measuring differences which are found
to be important in flying, those applicants
who will most probably make expert pilots

after training. Another investigation deals
with the relation of body tension to fly
ing proficiency.

Conscripts — The War Department is
interested in matching conscripts with
military jobs. To do this it is necessary to
take into account the different require
ments of the many military occupations,
and to detect differences in recruits so as
to find those who meet the various re
quirements. War Plans Officers have drawn
upon the Psychology Department for con
sulfation and facilities pertaining to in
terviewing and trade testing methods
which will aid in more accurate classifica
tion of recruits in military training centers.

Occupational Orientation — The Test
ing Clinic, which is now in its third year
of operation, is designed primarily to aid
University students to choose fields of
training and occupational goals which are
in line with their outstanding character
istics. This student personnel service con-
sists of interviewing, testing, record keep
ing, and interpreting the resulting infor-
mation to the student so that he may
make educational and vocational choices
which are matched with his measured
achievements, aptitudes and interests. An
electric test-scoring machine, by which
three to four hundred tests may be scored
in an hour, is employed. Interest of high
school principals and counselors in the fa
cilities of the Testing Clinic, as an aid to
counseling their students, resulted in a
conference held on the campus in October

Electric — Elies Elvove, '39, received his
M.E. degree from the University of Mi
nois this past June in Electrical Engineer
ing. He was in the employ of Westing
house while studying for the advanced de
grce. He is remaining with the company.
His address is 555 East End Avenue, Pitts
burgh. Pa.

Married — Miss Laura Manning, '39.
and F. Ed. Smith, Jr., were married in
September. Laura is a member of Kappa
Kappa Gamma.

Student — From Atlanta, Ga., Robert
White, '16, sends his daughter, Mildred,
to attend his Alma Mater. Mildred prcvi
ously attended Wesleyan College at Ma
con, Georgia.

Old Line Athletic Contributions

By W. H. ("Bill") HOTTEL:

Maryland In Brilliant
Finish To Grid Season

Maryland's football team, although it
finished the season with a record of two
wins, a tie and six defeats, brought the
campaign to a sensational close in a 7-7
deadlock with Washington and Lee at
College Park on November 30.

The Terps should have won the game,
but the "breaks" all went against them
and with only four minutes to go they
found themselves on their own 1-yard line
and trailing, 0-7.

Then they staged what probably was the
most remarkable feat of the nation's foot-
ball season by marching 99 yards on eight
plays to score and kick the extra point to
save the day.

It was the type of stuff the squad had
shown all season after a disappointing
start and in meeting foes that, with two
exceptions, greatly outmanned them.

Rutgers Is Handed Jolt

While the Terps had won only two
games going into the Washington and
Lee contest, over Western Maryland and
Rutgers, the defeat of the latter by a 14-7
score was one of the big upsets of the
year.

However, in all the other games and
the one with Scarlet, except for the West-
ern Maryland encounter and the jolt
handed by Hampden-Sydney in the open-
er, Maryland was the underdog.

The Terps showed they were respond-
ing to the new coaching set-up in gaining
300 yards to 200 for V. M. I. on Novem-
ber 16, although losing on the "breaks,"
and demonstrated it decisively in beating
Rutgers and tieing the Generals.

They also had to face a heavier and
more experienced Washington and Lee
team, one that contained 17 letter men.

How They Have Fared

A more complete review will be given

New Mentor For Boxing;
Colonel Miller In Service

Having lost Lieut. - Col. Harvey L.
(Heinie) Miller, head coach of boxing, to
the United States defense moves, Mary-
land was just about to decide upon the
fistic mentors when this was written.

While the matter was under consid-
eration, Mike Lombardo and Ivan Nedo-
matsky, former Maryland ring greats, were
handling the boys. It is certain that both
will remain with the squad and that one
of them will be put in charge.

This will be decided in ample time to
prime for the opening match which is on
January 1 1 with South Carolina at Col-
lege Park.

The outlook is for a good team.

Other matches are:

January 18 — Coast Guard Academy, New
London, Conn.

February 1 — Virginia at Charlottesville
(Varsity and Frosh)

February 8 — Catholic University

February 12 — Western Maryland, Westmin-
ster

Duke Is Only Newcomer
To 1941 Grid Card

Maryland's 1941 football schedule, with
the exception that Virginia will not be
met and Duke will be on the list in place
of the Cavaliers, follows the same lines
as for the 1940 campaign.

Virginia and Maryland merely were un-
able to find a mutually agreeable date and
the Cavaliers will be back on the 194Z
card.

It will be the first break in the Virginia-
Maryland series since 1925, which stands
at eight wins for the Terps, seven for the
Cavaliers and two ties.

The 1941 card:

Sept. 27 — Hampden-Sydney

Oct. 3 — Western Maryland, Baltimore Sta-
dium (night)

Oct. 11 — Duke, Baltimore Stadium

Oct. 18— Florida

Oct. 25— Penn. Philadelphia

Nov. 1 — Rutgers, New Brunswick

Nov. 8 — Georgetown, Washington

Nov. 15— V. M. I.

Green Basket Ball Team
Is Facing Tough Going

II. Burton Shipley, Maryland, '14, wh|
has been successfully coaching the Teq
Varsity basketers for the past seventee;
seasons, has the toughest job on hi
hands since he took the helm in the Fj
of 1923.

"Ship" has just two letter men Id
from last season — Arthur Woodward an
Gene Ochsenreiter — neither of whoi
was a regular during the 1939-40 can
paign.

Jim Wharton and Dick McHale ai
the only others who were on the squa
last season and the other ten who fill oc
the roster are newcomers.

"Ship" got a blow when George Di
Witt, all-Southern Conference for tvi
years, left school, and Mearle DuVall, th
other ace of 1939-40, had to be kept ol
the court to stick to the books and hav
a bad knee fixed.

Pershing Mondorff, Bill Rea and Adai
Bengoechea finished their athletic careei
last June and Leon Vannais did not ri
turn. All were letter men.

Maryland plays three games prior to th
holidays in an attractive schedule ths
should provide much entertainment, ri
gardless of the results.

Alumni And Faculty Are University
Salesmen, Says Mr. White

I xcerpts from ,i talk by the Honorable
John S. White, State Delegate of Prince
George's County and Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, given at a
dinner by the Maryland Chapter of the
American Association of University Pro-
fessors.

The University of Maryland and its
place m the State of Maryland was the
general trend of his talk.

"It is my feeling, as a member of the
General Assembly of Maryland, and partic-
ularly from observations made in my ca-
pacity of Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Delegates,
that the University of Maryland occupies
a rather unique position from the stand-
point of the appropriate consideration to
which it is entitled from the law-makers
of our State, as well as the people of the
State as a whole.

Unfinished Business

"I always feel at each session of the
General Assembly, that the business of the
University of Man land is very definitely
'Unfinished Business.' for the very ob-
vious reason that the affairs of this great
institution arc in constant need of the most
careful attention of the Legislature, par-
ticularly the fiscal affairs of the University,
and I say this for the particular reason
that the University is constantly growing
and moving forward. It is alive and it is
most energetic in its broad field of en-
deavors, incidental to the training of the
youth of our State, as well as rendering
almost unlimited services to the people in
even- section of the State. The University
has a most vital place in the affairs of the
State of Maryland and in my humble judg-
ment, the strength and stability and stand-
ing of every State in this Union is more or
less measured by the attention which each
State gives in the way of financial assist-
ance to its State institutions of learning
and therefore, I always, at every new session
of the Legislature, approach the fiscal af-
fairs of the University of Maryland with
the thought that the business is never fin-
ished, but rather that we must constantly
give our best thoughts and endeavors to

working out the most flexible and liberal
appropriations for the University, con-
sistent with our budgetary limits, and other
governmental activities.

Going Concern

"1 might add that in approaching the
matter of appropriations for the University
of Maryland, I have the most profound
respect and admiration for the wonderful
work which has been carried on at this
great institution, and when I take into
consideration the tremendous growth in
the physical activities of the University.
I am deeply impressed with the fact that
the University of Maryland is a 'Going
Concern.' moving at a steady, progressive
pace and spreading its influence to the
far corners of our State to the benefit of
hundreds of thousands of our people in all
walks of life, and offering the services of
skilled and trained workers to thousands
of our people who show the slightest dis-
position toward seeking the cooperation
and assistance of the authorities at the
University, and in fact, I might say that
the more the people make use of the fa-
cilities of the University, the stronger
and more important the University be-
comes in the public life and the affairs of
the State of Maryland.

Good Risk

"In view of the two aforegoing obser-
vations, it naturally follows that I feel that
the University of Maryland is most defi-
nitely a 'Good Risk,' and for that reason,
I have never had the slightest doubt but
that even- dollar which has been appro-
priated for the maintenance, operation and
expansion of the extensive facilities of this
great University has been appropriated jus
tifiably and that we have already received
a substantial return upon our investment,
and that the future will increase manifold
the returns from the investments which
we have made toward the advancement of
the activities of the University of Mary-
land.

Alumni Salesmen

"In looking at the necessity for a sympa-
thetic understanding of the needs of the
University and for the development of a
mutual cooperation toward the accom-

plishment of such objectives as I have in
mind, I cannot help but state that I feel
that everyone connected with the Univer-
sity in an official capacity must at all
times, consider themselves 'salesmen' and,
like all good salesmen they must have an
abiding faith and confidence in the sub-
ject which they are offering for sale. In
the first place, the professor, in dealing
with the student body, must most defi-
nitely be a good salesman if he hopes to
achieve the desired results, for after all,
he must sell himself to the students be-
fore he can expect to sell his subject-mat-
ter and furthermore, the professors must
be constantly on the alert that they reflect
the very best in the way of example in
their dealings with everyone with whom
they may come in contact and, above all.
every Alumnus and everyone associated
with the University, from the President
down to the most unimportant employe,
must at all times be eternally vigilant in
impressing upon the general public, par-
ticularly the people responsible for the
operation of the State government, that
they arc completely sold on the University
and that they therefore solicit the very best
possible cooperation from all parties con-
cerned in the general advancement of the
affairs of the University. In this connec
tion I would like to pay my tribute to Dr.
Byrd, President of this great University, fo:
his wonderful capacity in the field of 'Sales
manship,' insofar as the University ofj
Maryland is concerned, and to compliment
him highly upon the wonderful work :
which he has accomplished and which he)
is accomplishing from day to day in the*
way of serving the University of Maryland!
and obtaining for it the recognition toj
which it is justly entitled, both from the
general public and from the State of Man
land in the way of appropriations and id
the development of a State-wide respeel
as one of the progressive institutions (
higher education in this country."

the Lord Baltimore I Iotel in Baltimore,
Maryland. General Chairman T. Ells-
wortli Ragland, 14. l'har.D., announces
the committee appointments as recom-
mended by the Presidents of the various
Associations.

It was definitely stated by the commit-
tee that the speaking program would be
made shorter, giving more time for visit-
ing and fraternizing between faculty and
alumni.

An added feature this year will be a
floor show to be presented at the begin-
ning of the dance. A popular Baltimore
orchestra will provide the music for danc-
ing.

Pharmacy Centennial

His Excellency, Herbert R. O'Conor,

Thoughts of Interest:

Pan-American Solidarity In Our Time!

by Donald Marquand Dozer
Piofcssoi in Department of History

Every reader of this article is thinking
and talking occasionally about such ques-
tions as these: What does Pan American-
ism really mean? What arc the obstacles in
the way of its development and what ef-
forts have been made to remove them?
Is Pan-American solidarity a myth or a re-
ality in the present world crisis?
Obsracles To Solidarity

The twenty Latin American countries
south of the Rio Grande have a total pop-
ulation of approximately 120,000,000.
which is roughly equivalent to that of the
United States. Nearly half of their people
and more than ninety per cent in at least
one of these nations are illiterate. Not so
heterogeneous as the population of our
country, the Latin Americans arc predom-
inantly of Spanish, Portuguese, and Indian
origin. They range in culture from the al-
most naked savages of the upper Amazon
to intellectual leaders like Alejandro Al-
varez of Chile, Saavedra Lamas of Argen-
tina, and Diego Rivera of Mexico, whose
names and works are well known on three
continents.

The first salient fact about the Latin-
Americans is that they are almost as cul-
turally unlike us as are the Japanese or
Chinese. Their Ibcric-Indian civilization is
more feminine, more spiritual, more artis-
tic than our Anglo-American civilization.
Their mental processes, their living condi-
tions, their historical heritage, and their
total experience differ almost completely
from ours. Moreover, their geographical
situation and the difficulties of inter-Amcr-
ican communication have brought these
nations into closer contact with Europe
than with us. Rio dc Janeiro, for example,
is closer to Spain than to New York, and
southern Argentina is more remote from
the United Stales than is Ethiopia or
Russia.

\ second salient fact is that Latin \inci
i ins are accustomed to power politics. Out
of the political feudalism and anarchy into

which they lapsed after their wars of inde-
pendence rose dictators like Rosas in the
Argentine and Porfirio Diaz m Mexico who
gave their countries a few years of des-
potic peace. Today dictators of one type
or another are in control of fourteen of
these countries. It an aphorism in dictator-
ridden Guatemala: "If your widow likes
flowers, make a speech against Ul>ico."
But these despotisms are tempered by oc-
casional lip service to democratic proce-
dures and by sporadic attempts to improve
the living standards of their people. And
though their governments rise and fall by
power politics the masses of the people
are wholly unfamiliar with totalitarian dic-
tatorship of the European model. Their
pattern of dictatorship does not extend to
regimentation and conquest.

A third salient fact is that Latin-Amer-
ica has not achieved political unity. As a
heritage from their colonial experience,
when they were remote and geographic-
ally isolated vassals of Spain, Portugal, and
France, these countries shows a jealous in-
dividualism and a passionate pride in their
national selfhood which will brook no crit-
icism. Except in a few rare cases their sus-
picion of each other is exceeded only by
their suspicion of the United States.
Removal Of Obstacles

Pan-Americanism means simply the
united cooperation of the independent na-
tions of this hemisphere in mutually ad-
vantageous undertakings. Ever since the
Latin-American nations won their inde-
pendence they have often consulted to-
gether to ward off interventions from out-
side and to settle disputes among them-
selves. For the past fifty years their rep-
resentatives have been meeting, along with
representatives of the United States, in
periodic Pan-American conferences, the
first of which assembled at Washington in
1889 and the most recent at Lima in
1938. All told some or all of the Ameri-
i in nations have met together in more

than one hundred international confer-
ences dealing with such various subjects
as the codification of international law,
the status of women, the promotion of the
sciences, the construction of highways,
commercial aviation, agriculture, public
health and sanitation, and the welfare of
their children. Their cultural disunity and
mutual suspicions, therefore, have been
counteracted by their habit of talking over
their common problems together.
World War
The fair beginnings of Pan American
solidarity which developed during the
World War of 1914-1918 were blighted
in the bud by the United States' post-war
policy of imperialism which subverted
Latin-American governments, reduced
these countries to a semi-colonial status,
and forced them to submit to exploitation
by "gringo" capitalists. Our "bad neigh-
bor" policy toward Latin-America was an
abject failure and raised up a barrier of
bitter ill-will against the United States
which is one of the continuing obstacles
to Pan-American solidarity. Since 1930.
therefore, it has been replaced by a "good
neighbor" policy which has unmistakably
improved our relations with our neighbors
to the south. Our marines have been with
drawn from these countries, we have con-
cluded liberal trade agreements with eleven
of them, and we have freed all of them
from our political apron strings. In the
Pan-American conferences at Montevideo
in 1933 and at Lima in 1938 our "good
neighbor" policy produced close coopera-
tion between the United States and Latin-
America in many matters vital to this hem-
isphere.
Pan-Americanism In The Present War
Since the beginning of the present war
Pan-American solidarity has been promoted
in many significant ways. In accordance
with agreements which they adopted in
their conferences at Buenos Aires and
Lima the American republics have held
two historic consultative meetings of their
foreign ministers. In their first meeting at
Panama in September and October 193^
they determined to maintain the genera
neutrality of the American republics, cre-
ated an Inter- American Neutrality ConM
mittcc, and drew a "zone of security" ex-
tending approximately 300 miles to set
around the Americas in which they for-

Kappa Deltas' New Home

(From Diamondbaclc)

The tradition of Colonial style Greek
louses was broken this summer when the
Cappa Deltas built an English Normandie
buse, complete with a tower and iron
;rill\vork, on College Avenue, just below
he Tri-Delt house.

A curved flagstone walk leads to the
ntrance, and the door opens into a hex-
tonal foyer with the sorority seal set in
bncrete in the middle of the flagstone
loor. The room is furnished with iron
hairs and iron tables with glass tops to
natch the iron work on the outside win
BWS and the glass brick which forms two
if the six sides of the room.

Huge windows which reach from the
loor to somewhere short of the ceiling, a
arge wood paneled fireplace, and beams
cross the ceiling distinguish the living
oom. The kitchen and butler's pantry are
he latest thing in built-in units and equip-
nent. An incinerator system takes care of
he garbage from the kitchen and the
^aste paper from upstairs. From the en-
rance hall, a curved stairway leads to the
econd floor. Twelve double rooms, four
if which are arranged in suites of two, on
he second floor, and two more on the
ihird floor accommodate thirty coeds. The
[ouse-mother's suite and a guest room are
.n the first floor.
; A tricky back stairway which can be

losed off the second floor by double doors
ads to the rec room in the top story,
'he chapter room, chapter office, and eve-

ning dress closet arc also on the third floor.

It is a house of belles, because when you
ring the front door button, chimes ring
inside, and a buzzer system summons
KD's for their callers and for their meals.
A little room with glass doors that opens
off the entrance hall is labeled, the "date
room." A laundry with built-in ironing
boards and sleeve boards is conveniently
located on the second floor.

On the side of the house is a flagstone
terrace with an outside fireplace. Large
trees, which were preserved when the
house was built, give an air of dignity and
permanency that such a structure requires.

Schuylkill Arsenal

\\ 'alter N. Talker, '35, is now a First
leutenant in the Quartermaster Corps and
on active duty at the Schuylkill Arsenal,
liladclphia, Pa. Harry E. Carter (Nick),
4, is also a First Lieutenant in the Quar-
rmaster Corps on active duty at Schuyl-
1 Arsenal. After February 1, 1941, they
th will be transferred to Camp Lee, Vir-
lia, to act as instructors at the replace-
in t center.

Married — Miriam Pauline Rittcnhouse
:ame the bride of Lawrence Anthony
ians, '36.

Air School — The United States Army
Air School at Maxwell. Alabama, has Jack
Beer, '39, and Hurley as cadets. Each day
we hear of more Maryland boys who have
entered the officers' family of the United
States Army.

Married — Miss Louise Mercer, '42. and
Lieut. Merle Preble, '40. were recently
married. Lieutenant Preble, a former cadet
colonel of the R. (). T. C. now is on
temporary duty at the' Infantry School,
Fort Benning, Ga. The newlyweds are liv-
ing at Fort Benning.

Boxing Squad Is Short
Of Size, Quantity

Maryland's varsity boxing squad is
"short" two ways for a testing schedule
that opens with South Carolina at College
Park on January 11th. This will be the
first twin-bill attraction of the season, as
Duke also will be met in basket ball.

The Terps lack quantity and height, only
one man on the ring squad being as tall
as six feet, and also arc short on experience.
Izzy Alperstein, 145, and George Pyles,
165, are the only letter men available, un-
less Izzy Leites decides to resume the
heavyweight job. He's not on hand at
present, leaving this berth without a con-
tender, although Harold Berry, soph grid
fullback, may take a shot at it.

Leaders in other classes are:

120 — Judson Lincoln, a 5 foot 4V2
inch soph.

127 — Charley Door, a 5 foot 6 inch
senior.

135 — Hank Gay-Lord, a soph, and
Rowan Scarborough, a senior, who
is bothered with a bad hand.

155 — Fred Bach, soph, who was a foot-
ball back.

175 — Herb Gunther, a soph, who prob-
ably is tops on the squad. Vincen
Hughes, letter man in this class
last year, hasn't reported.

Pat Quinn, a 145 pound soph, also is
making a good impression.

Three Games Exemplify
Basket Ball Task

Maryland's spirited but sadly inexperi-
enced varsity basket ball squad, was to re-
sume toil on January 3 for the game five
days later with Penn in Philadelphia. Three
preholiday defeats served to exemplify the
great task that faces Burton Shipley in his
18th year as coach.

With only nine aspirants, none of whom
was a regular last year, Maryland has 18
more games to play and in every contest
it will be facing greater assets, particularly
as to experience. Under the circumstances,
any victory the Terps may score will be
an upset.

Gene Ochsenreiter, who led the team
with 39 points in the December tilts, and
Jim Wharton will continue to be the for-
wards, with Artie Woodward at center
and Ashton Garrett and Bob Fetters at
guards. Irving Gordy, Leib McDonald,
Dick McHale, and George Jarmoska, who
complete the squad, doubtless will play
almost as much as the starters.

Ochsenreiter, Woodward and Garrett
arc products of Richard-Montgomery High
of Rockville, Md., a small town about ten
miles from the Universitv.

Football Squad, Tutors
Deserve Much Praise

Maryland's football forces wound u]
their campaign November 30th with onl
two wins and a tie against six defeats, bu
those in close touch with the Terps hav
more praise for them than if they ha)
gone through an unbeaten season and re
ceived a bowl bid.

That march of 99 yards in the last fou
minutes November 30th, to get a 7-7 ti
with Washington and Lee was just a bril
liant display of the spirit and fortitude tb
squad displayed all season and which woulc
be hard to match in the football realm.
Great Display Of Grit

This typical display of grit came in ;
game in which Maryland had outplayct
the Generals in all phases only to face ai
almost impossible situation because prac
tically all of the "breaks" had gone agains
it.

Starting the season with a jolt at tin
hands of little Hampden Sydney and hav
ing other rough spots along the way, thi
players never lost "what it takes." The!
had proved their mettle just ten days be
fore when they upset a highly favorec
Rutgers team, 14-7, and their feat agains
the Generals was a fitting finale.
Jolt At Outset Hurts

Undergoing a change in playing system
under a revised coaching staff, which, nal
urally, slowed everybody at the start am
being outmanncd in every game, with th
exception of those with Hampdcn-Sydiiei
and Western Maryland, the latter wine
they won, 6 0, the Terps never once whin
pcred about anything. Their rcmarkahl
attitude and spirit under the circumstance

Maryland-Fifth Resiment
Meet Listed March 7

Friday evening, March 7th, has been
It as the date for the annual joint indooi
■mes of the University of Maryland

The games got an early impetus with
vord from Don Lash, formei Indiana stai
iiul one of America's greatest middle dis
anee runners, that he would be an en-
rant. Lash showed his old-time form re
•ently by winning the National A. A. U.
10.000 meter championship in reeord time.
Pal May Be Rival

I ash. who can step with the best at
my distance from a mile up. probably will
lead the field in the two-mile miss and-
nit. one of the headliners of the games.
LTiis event was won last year by Tommy
3eckard, one of Lash's former teammates
ind pals, in the reeord time of 9:05.9.
\ckard. who told Lash how much he en-
oyed last year's meet, likely will be back
s his rival.

i Other big features of the games are the
jTUvernor's mile, won last March by Archie
.an Romani of Kansas, and the Oriole 660.
i which Sanford Goldberg of Millrose
L A. of New York, nosed out Jim Kehoe
f Maryland.

Smith Badly Slighted
In All-Star Voting

Maryland's football followers are abso-
lutely "through" with all all Southern Con-
ference elevens and all other all-star out-
fits. When a center like Bob Smith, really
all America caliber, can't run one or two
in the voting on a sectional team, Terp
fans are fully convinced that such outfits
are the bunk.

He played in nine games with hardly
any relief and was outstanding in every
one of them, tackling all down the line,
intercepting passes and doing everything
a great center should do.

Maryland's geographical location in the
loop doubtless cost him top honors. There
just aren't enough votes in the upper end
of the Conference to get a fellow any place
even if he were a second Mel Hein.

Smith, incidentally, got national recog-
nition by being placed on the honorable
mention list in the Associated Press all
America selections.

Here is the way one Southern writer
sized up Maryland's situation:

"For the second year in succession the
University of Maryland is getting a raw-
deal by those who select all-Southern Con-
ference grid elevens. Last Fall the Terps
boasted one of the greatest tackles in the
school's history in Ralph Albarano — a boy

PAN-AMERICAN SOLIDARITY IN OUR TIME!

(Continued

bade belligerent action. In addition they
set up an Inter-American Financial and
Economic Advisory Committee to sug-
gest methods of closer economic coopera-
tion among the American nations.

In their second consultative meeting at
Havana last July they agreed to establish a
provisional administrative regime or a col-
lective trusteeship by all the American
nations over European colonial possessions
in this hemisphere threatened with trans-
fer to another European government. They
also agreed to cooperate in ferreting out
"fifth-column" activities "which may af-
fect the institutions of American states"
or endanger "their existing democratic sys-
tems."

This political Pan-Americanism, how-
ever, is not enough. It has not overcome
Latin-America's suspicions of the United
States. Our present maneuvers to acquire
naval, land, and air bases in these countries
have aroused considerable opposition, par-
ticularly in Argentina and Uruguay. Our
sensitive Latin neighbors cannot easily for-
get our past exploitations and misdeeds. A
liberal newspaper in Bogota, Colombia,
warned its readers more than a year ago
that an "eternal Good Neighbor policy is
a delusion." Can they be sure that our
suddenly awakened interest in Latin-Amer-
ica is not inspired by ulterior motives, that
our relations with them will not once again
swing toward imperialism, or that fifth
columnists are not just figments of Yankee
imagination? Haya de la Torre, the leader
of the Peruvian Apra which is probably the

from Page 6)

most democratic movement in the Amer-
icas today, is advocating the organization
of an "Indo-American Union" to combat
United States imperialism and to keep
Latin-America safe for Latin-Americans.

Cooperation in political matters, then,
does not constitute the whole of Pan-
Americanism; it must be broadened to
include all phases of the life of the Amer-
icas. It must be supplemented by long
range programs of cultural exchange, by
the encouragement of travel within the
Americas, by the extension of road sys-
tems, by the further removal of commer-
cial barriers, by the cooperation of the
American labor organizations, by the in-
creased study of the Spanish and Portu-
guese languages in the United States and
of English in the Latin-American countries,
and perhaps most of all by cooperative
social programs which will make democ-
racy really work in this hemisphere for the
benefit of all its people.

We in this country can promote it if we
will continue our "good neighbor" policy
and mean it to the fullest possible extent,
if we will show a genuinely sympathetic
understanding of the radically different cul-
tures in the nations south of us, if we will
forget the color line in our dealings with
them, and if we will refrain from using
neighborliness as a cloak for imperialism
and exploitation.

Pan-American solidarity will only be the
fruit of a rich and firm friendship. Its de-
velopment is signally favored by the pres-
ent European situation.

Md. Stock Judging Team
Wins 1st Place At Chicago

Competing against teams from 24 other
States, the Maryland non collegiate 4-H
Club Stock Judging Team from Frederick
County was awarded first place in the judg-
ing contest at the International Livestock
Exposition in Chicago, November 29 to
Dec ember 7.

The Maryland team was composed of
William Martin, of Monrovia; Staley Hahn,
of Frederick, and Harry Fouche, of Lime-
kiln, and it was coached by Henry R.
Shoemaker, '17, one of Maryland's leading

County Agents.

The Mankind team won the right to
represent the State at the International by-
winning first place in the State contest at
the Baltimore Livestock Show in October.
In Chicago the Marylanders piled up a
total score of 1,543 points out of a pos-
sible 1,800 points, as compared with Mis-
souri's second high score of 1,527 points
and Minnesota's third place of 1,524
points.

A total of 1,500 club delegates, repre-
senting 1,380,000 members in 44 States
and Hawaii attended the meetings of the
4-H Club Congress, which was held this
year for the nineteenth consecutive time.

Stevens Entertains
"M" Club Board

James W. Stevens, '19, President of the
"M" Club, held a meeting of the Board
at his home in Baltimore on Tuesday, De-
cember 10th, at which time several mat-
ters of importance were discussed.

Members of the Board present were
Burton Shipley. '14. "Mike" Stevens, '27,
"Ed" Powell, '13. Geary Eppley, '18,
"Knocky" Thomas, '28, Jim Kchoe, '40,
Edgar Friedenwald. '03, Lcs Bopst, 16,
Kirk Besley, '23, Ernest Con', '09, and
"Rosey" Pollock, '23, Bill Supplcc. '25,
Chairman of the Homecoming Dance, and
"Buckey" Clemson. '21, of the Dental
School were present as special guests of
President Stevens.

Probably the most earnestly discussed
subject was the "M" Club scholarship fund
and the awarding of the scholarship. A
committee was appointed to make a study
of worthv- athletes, whether they are al-
ready in school or prospective students,
and present outstanding candidates for
this award.

It was proposed to publish and mail a
circular letter containing personal news
items by classes and sports to all eligible
"M" Club members in an effort to bring
more contributions into the Club treasury
Powell, Stevens, and Cory will be the com
mittee.

The Board voted to again present a tro
phy for County High Schools at the An
nual University of Maryland-Fifth Regi
ment Indoor Track Meet to be held or
Friday, March 7th, at the Fifth Regimen!
Armory in Baltimore.

Plans for having special ceremonies al
athletic contests to properly induct mem
bers into the "M" Club were discussed
It was felt by the members of the Boau
that a special meeting room and head
quarters for the "M" Club men on tli<
campus should be provided. This matte:
is to be looked into, and a report to h(
made at the next meeting.

President Stevens had a big Marylaiu
turkey on hand for the boys and how the]
did massacre that turkey! It was one o
the best attended meetings of the Boarc
for some time. "Mike" Stevens, head d
the committee on "M" Club promotions
presented the subjects for discussion.

Fellow Alumni:

On Saturday evening. January 1 8th, the
Alumni and Friends of the University of
Maryland held the one hundred and thirtj
fourth Charter Day Celebration at the
Lord Baltimore Hotel. We were pleased to
know there were more than one thousand
present for this occasion. The program
consisted of a few talks, a flooi show and
a dance. Dr. T. 1''.. Ragland, general chaii
man. assisted by our Secretary, G. I Pol
lock, deserves much credit for the success
of this celebration. Mr. Charles I Moj

various speakers were most appropriate and
pleasing. Dr. II. C. Byrd gave a verj ap
propriate talk which was verj much to the
pomt. Governor Herbert O'Conoi ex

Charter Day Celebration Presented
More Entertaining Program

Entertainment and real fellowship was

the tenor of the one hundred and thirty
fourth Charter Day Celebration, held Sat-
urday. January 18th, in Baltimore. His Ex-
cellency, Herbert O'Conor, 70, LL.B.,
Governor of Maryland, was guest of honor.
In his remarks Governor O'Conor said
that Dr. Byrd was making a "lasting eon
tribution to the State, because future gen-
erations will recognize what lie is doing."
"Maryland can do nothing better than up-
hold the President of the University."

Moylan, Toastmaster

The Honorable Charles E. Moylan. '24,
LL.B., Chairman of the State Industrial
Accident Commission, was the toastmaster
and a most genial person to conduct the
program of such an affair. Dr. H. C. Byrd.
'08, LL.D., President of the University,
was the official host with several members
of the Board of Regents assisting: Judge
Rowland K. Adams, '14. LL.B.. the Hon-
orable Harry II. Xuttlc. the Honorable J.
Milton Patterson, and the Honorable Hen-
ry Hol/apfel, Jr., '93. In his remarks Dr.
Byrd stated, "My objective for the Uni-
\crsity of Maryland is not an increase of
many more students but an expansion and
betterment of its services to the State."
'Phis needs no further qualification and
the Alumni are fully in accord with such
a plan.

Pharmacy Centennial

One of the highlights of the occasion
was the recognition of the Centennial An-
niversary of the founding of the School of
Pharmacy. Dr. T. Ellsworth Ragland. '11,
Phar.D., Presidenl of the Pharmacy Alum
ni Association, was General Chairman of
the celebration. When officially opening
the celebration. Dr. Ragland said. "The
University is proud of her Alumni, whose
great deeds arc the eternal heritage of
every Alumnus. Today we stand behind
our youthful captain of education, proud
of the accomplishments of our Alma Mater
under his guidance. We fully pledge our
Support toward the fulfillment of his vi-
sions for a greater University of Maryland

dedicated to the welfare of the people of
our State. One who has given his unsel-
fish and tireless efforts for more than a
quarter of a century to the development
of our Alma Mater, an institution for the
people. I speak of our Alumnus President,
and friend, Dr. H. C. Byrd."

In a short, prepared address. Dean A. G.
DuMez gave a brief history of the origin
and development of the School of Phar-
macy, called attention to some of the im-
portant contributions which it had made
to the advancement of pharmaceutical ed-
ucation, to pharmaceutical research and
to the improvement of pharmaceutical
service within the State. He also stated
that its graduates, who now exceed 2,500
in number, are largely responsible for the
high type of pharmaceutical service now
available to our citizens and for the ef-
ficient control exercised over the manu-
facture, sale and distribution of drugs.

Distinguished Guests

Among other distinguished guests were
Mrs. O'Conor, the First Lady of Maryland;
Mrs. Moylan, also the wives of the mem-
bers of the Board of Regents: Mrs. Adams,
Mrs. Holzapfel, Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Nut-
tic, Mrs. DuMez, and Mrs. Ragland led

Honorable Thomas Conlon, and Mrs. Con-
Ion, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bruce were
among the distinguished guests.

Fulfilling their promise, the Program
Committee kept the speeches short and
all were very interesting. Mr. James E.
Ghcen, the principal speaker, was excep-
tionally entertaining with his inspirational
and humorous remarks.

Ferdinand
In the floor show an act presenting Fer-
dinand the Bull took top honors. When
you say Ferdinand, we think of Munro

mous book. After the floor show dancing
completed the evening. This year's cele-
bration presented a new program which
was received with much pleasure and all

had more time for visiting and genuine fel-

Ragland has received many commending
remarks regarding the delightful program
as presented this year.

The Late Dr. Frank C. Bressler, '85, M.D.

{Excerpts from an .Address by i/;irry A.
Kohlerman, LL.B. \

With those who had the privilege oi
sequent association with Dr, Frank C.
Bressler there will ever abide the precious
memory, not only of the work of an able
doetor, hut of companionship with ,i beau
tiful spirit, and an extraordinary combina
Bon of grace and power.

Dr. Bressler, who had risen from the
ranks to the medical profession, was bom
in New York City in 1855. His father.
Frank Bressler. was born in Frankcnthal.
Bavaria, came to America ami settled in
Hew York, where lie engaged in business
until the Civil War, when he joined the
Fifty-fifth New York Zouaves. At the close
;>f the war he returned to New York and
iftcr a few years went abroad to superin
tend the education of his son, Frank C.
Bressler, at Frankcnthal, Bavaria. After
three years in Bavaria they returned to
Mew York. Later the family moved to
Pittsburgh and then to Wilkes-Barrc. Pa.,
vherc young Frank C. Bressler attended
he public schools, after which he pur-
ucd a course in classical study under pri-
vate instruction by an eminent member of
he \\ llkes-Barre bar. He completed a
general course in the State Normal School
i'f Millersville, Pa., and then took up the
tudy of medicine under Dr. Sparc of Lu-
erne County, Pa.

Charity His Hobby

• In 1883 he matriculated at the College
.f Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore,
Id., and at the same time entered the
|ffice of Dr. J. \V. Chambers as a private
upil. In 1885 he received the degree of
octor of Medicine with honor. Several
,j:ars after graduation he was appointed
inical professor of children's diseases in
e College of Physicians and Surgeons.
He was exceptionally kind and consid
ate to his patients, and his presents cre-
ep a feeling of confidence and security.
! was always his pleasure to help others.
[All his life he was devoted to charity.
the time of his death he was president
the Baltimore Eastern Dispensary and
.■sident of the John Frederick Wiessner
phan Asylum, and rarely missed a meet

Children Interest

It is well known that he was deeply in-
terested in the children at the John Fred-
erick Wiessner Orphan Asylum, that he
frequently visited them, and contributed
liberally to their support and maintenance.

Kind, genial and considerate, he bound
those with whom he came in contact with
chains of affection, which neither time nor
death can sever. Generosity, honesty, and
humanity were the outstanding traits of his
character. He loved his profession, he
loved the orphans, lie loved his fellow
men. lie was interested in their sorrows
and in their joys.

And so, on May 18, l 1 )^. when the

tory, for the betterment of humanity.

Thoughts of Interest:

Turkey-- Key to the Near East

by W. M. Gewehr
Professor and Chairman of the Department of History

"Watch Turkey" is the basic thought
of this item as the stage of the war shifts
towards the Balkans. Again, the unsheathed
sword of the Great Powers, as so many
times in the past, threatens to set the
Balkans ablaze as Axis pressure is brought
to bear and as Russia keeps an uneasy
watch just across the Rumanian frontier.
These Balkans have figured in many a
past war as a pawn in the game of the
Great Powers — so much so that the word
"Balkanization" has been coined to desig-
nate a state of more or less perennial strife.
Also these small states often have been
called the European powder keg. But only
twice during the last hundred and fifty
years have the Balkan nations warred
strictly among themselves. During the
same period before 1939 the Great Powers
became involved in Balkan issues over
which they fought their wars five times.
As a native writer has expressed it, thus,
if the Balkan States have been the keg,
the Great Powers have supplied the pow-
der. And now again, a sixth time, these
nations which actually during the past
decade contributed more towards interna-
tional stabilization through a series of
Balkan conferences, than even the League
of Nations at Geneva was able to do, are
in a fair way to become the pawns of the
international chess game.

If one puts his finger on the key to
this international rivalry in the Near East,
it is the fact that here are Istanbul and the
Straits which connect the Black Sea with
the Mediterranean. Ever since 1453 these
key positions have been in the hands of
Turkey. Eor at least two hundred and fifty
years it has been the traditional policy of
Russia to get control of this highway that
would let her out of the Black Sea and
into the Aegean and Mediterranean. Had
it not been for the Bolshevik revolution
of 1917 Russia would have secured the
Coveted prize after the first World War,
but bv an accident of history defeated

Turkey was allowed to remain in control.
I can see no historical basis for any as-
sumption that Stalin would now view with
inaction and complacency any move by
Hitler in the direction of the Straits, or
through Turkey to the rich British-con-
trolled oil fields of Persia and Irak. Doubt-
less it is the fear of complications with
Russia or Turkey or both which has slowed
up Hitler's diplomatic blitzkrieg to force
little Bulgaria into his Axis. And what, may
we ask, has happened to enable this incon-
sequential Balkan State to even dare re-
sist the Nazi pressure? Just as the Axis
met its first military reverses in the Balkans
so here, too, has come this first diplomatic
setback. Whether or not Hitler works out
some prior agreement with Stalin over the
Bulgarian impasse. Turkey is still to be
reckoned with. At this moment Turkey is
fully mobilized on her Thracian frontier
(eastern Greece) awaiting the uncertain
future as the Greeks are fighting the Ital-
ians in Albania. If Hitler moves through
Bulgaria into Greece, Turkey will play a
role similar to that of Finland's in the
north, for here Hitler will meet a foe de-
termined to resist any further advance to-
wards the Straits.

Democratic Ideals
Turkey enjoys the distinction of being
classified as a dictatorship thoroughly com-
mitted to democratic ideals. To many this
seems strange, for in the War of 1914-18
Turkey, herself an autocratic, semi-oriental
despotism, was an ally of Germany, with
whom she had close economic associations
bj' reason of the German-built Bagdad
Railway which ran through the heart of
Asia Minor. Since the first world war,
however, 'Turkey has passed through one
of the most profound revolutions in all
history. It all grew out of the Treaty of
Sevres of 1920 and the plans to partition
Turkey into economic zones during and
after the war. 'The 'Turks did not object to
those decisions which took away the Arab

portions of their empire — Syria, Pales
tine, Arabia, Mesopotamia ■ — but the;
did want to be masters in their homelanc
of Anatolia or Asia Minor. Even this wa
not to be allowed because the Greeks wen
given a large zone around Smyrna. In sev
eral secret treaties the Allies agreed upoi
economic spheres of influence in Anatoli;
which they would exploit and thus sub
jeet Turkey to continued despoilment. S(
resentful were the 'Turks over all this, Mus
tapha Kemal, their great leader, organizee
a national movement whose program wa
contained in a Nationalist Pact which as
serted the complete independence and ter
ritorial integrity of their Turkish home
land. Thereupon, a war against the Greek
was commenced. It lasted from 1920 t<
1922, and ended in the complete expul
sion of the Greeks. In 1923 at Lausanne
Switzerland, the western allies made peac
with the Turks on the principle of thi
complete independence of Turkey am
withdrawal from Anatolia. The Turks ha<
no desire to recover the non-Turkish Aral
lands. They were gone forever — but th
Turks were now masters of their owi
house, and after an exchange of popula
tions made a treaty of friendship with tin
Greeks.

Three Trends
It was not enough merely to expel thi
enemy. Mustapha Kemal decided to swee]
away the old order entirely. Reforms fol
lowed one another in bewildering fashion
We shall direct our attention to threi
principal aspects of these. First, there wen
the political reforms. In 1922, the last o
the line of Sultans who for over 600 year
had ruled the Turks in despotic mannc
was deposed. This last representative hac
become a servile tool of the allies. He hat
even been compelled to sign the Treaty o
Sevres, which the Nationalists never ac
ccpted. By this act the Sultan forfeited
the allegiance and respect of the nation
Although the sultanate was now abolished
a representative of the dynasty was per
mitted to retain the title of Caliph o:
religious head of the Moslem world which
since 151", had been vested in the Sultar
of Turkey. The abolition of the suit. matt
paved the way for the republic, which wa
proclaimed in October, 1923. A constitu
Hon which was promulgated in 1924 vesta
full sovereignty over the nation in tlu

The following is an excerpt taken from
the pictorial booklet published by Chester-
field, giving note of Maryland grown tobac-
co. Southern Maryland's Prince George's,
\nnc Arundel, Charles, Calvert, and St.
Mary's Counties arc the particular tobacco-
growing counties. This section has a great

( historical background of tobacco growing
and at one time was used as barter in paying

I for grants of land from the English Gov-
ernment.

"Tobaccoland, I'. S. A.." is the name
given to the group of States m which
most of America's fine cigarette tobaccos
are grown. While tobacco is grown in

t 22 States of the Union, the primary
cigarette tobacco States are Maryland, Vir-

■| ginia. North Carolina, South Carolina,

' Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky,

' Ohio, and Missouri.

"The cigarette tobaccos grown in Anici
ica are broken into three general types —
Southern Bright Leaf, Mankind and Bur

ley.

"Bright Leaf tobacco, famous for its
fine smoking qualities, gets its name from
its bright golden color, and is grown in
\ lrginia. North Carolina, South Carolina.
Georgia, and Florida.

"Mankind tobacco is grown only in a
tc\\ counties in Maryland and is noted for

its distinctive taste and free burning quali-

ties.

"Burley tobacco is grown mostly in Ken-
tucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and Missouri. The
Burley leaf is generally darker than the
J other domestic types, and has a tendency
to burn more slowly with a particularly
i; pleasant aroma."

Old Line Athletic Contributions

By W. H. ("Bill") HOTTEL:

Five Sports Attractions
Fill Next Six Weeks

Old grads will have plenty of reason to
flock to College Park and Baltimore dur-
ing the next six weeks for the attractions
will come thick and fast until they are
topped off by the big Maryland-Fifth
Regiment meet in the lattcr's spacious
armory on the night of Friday, March 7th.

In all there are Eve stellar attractions,
including the colorful all-Unix crsityNight
program on February 1 5th that always
packs Ritchie Coliseum to its capacity.
However, the affairs before and afterward
also should fill the big field house.

February 8 — Washington and Lee in
basket ball and Catholic University in
boxing.

February 1 5 — All-University Night, with
a program of colorful extra-curricular
events, basket ball with Connecticut and
boxing with North Carolina.

February 22 — Basket ball with Washing-
ton College and boxing with Virginia
Poly.

February 28 and March 1 — Southern
Conference wrestling tourney.

March 7 (Friday night) — Maryland-
Fifth Regiment imitation track meet in
latter 's spacious armory in Baltimore.

There will be a marked patriotic flavor
to the extra-curricular events of the all-
University Night program, which will be
a fast-moving spectacle that has been al-
lowed only slightly more than an hour to
be run off.

All of the double bills start with the
basket ball game at 8 o'clock, except on
ill University Night, when the tossers will
open activities at 7:30. Then will come the
extra-curricular attractions, with the box-
ing match as the finale.

Details of the Conference title wrestling
meet have not been announced but there
doubtless will be matches both afternoons
and nights.

Preliminaries in the bis.'. Baltimore track
meel will be run off early in the evening,

Willi the finals Starting at S o'clock.

The meet promises to have the out-
standing stars of the nation in its feature
events, principal of which are the Gov-
ernor's Mile, the two-mile miss-and-out,
and the Oriole 660. Jim Kehoe, a Man
land grad of last June, who is one of the
topliners in the middle distance, will be
in the Oriole 660. Right now he's shining
in the big northern meets.

Boxing Squad Surprises
By Its Great Start

Maryland's surprising boxers, who de-
feated South Carolina and the United
States Coast Guard Academy in succes-
sive weeks, were to trade punches with
Virginia at Charlottesville on February 1st.

At the outset of the season, Virginia
would have been rated a distinct favorite
but the Terps' early showing made them
almost equal choices. They were meeting
for the eighth time and Virginia held a
match margin by the slim edge of one
bout, the actual scoring being 24 Vi to
23Vi in favor of the Cavaliers.

Three of the matches have been 4-4
draws, the 1939 and 1940 meetings finish-
ing that way.

Here is the past record:
1935 — Maryland, 4; Virginia, 4.
1936 — Maryland, Vh\ Virginia, 4V2.
1937 — Maryland, 5; Virginia, 3.
1938— Maryland, 3; Virginia, 5.
1939 — Maryland, 4; Virginia, 4.
1940— Maryland, 4; Virginia, 4.

Quint Finishes At Home
After Hard Road Trips

Man land's basket ball team had to play
five games on the road before meeting
Washington and Lee at home on February
8th for a run of seven contests in Ritchie
Coliseum that will complete the cam-
paign.

Still seeking a victory after nine defeats.
the Terps started the jaunt by playing
Richmond on January 31st and on Febru-
ary 1st and 3rd, respectively, were to meet
Duke and North Carolina All these teams
had earlier season wins over the Terps.

The tossers were to get back home just
in time to visit Navy on February 5th and
the next night were to hike to Charlottes
ville to play Virginia.

The Terps have been playing interesting
basket ball, despite that the woefully green
team is lacking in good shooters, fully
matching their rivals in floor skill.

Coach Burton Shipley doubtless tool
all of his ten-man squad on the trips. These
include Gene Ochsenrcitcr, Artie Wood
ward, Lcib McDonald, Jim Wharton, Dick
McIIalc, Ashton Garrett, Bcrnie Ulman
George Jarmoska, Bob Fetters, and lad
Gilmorc. Only Ochsenrciter and Wood
ward arc letter men and they were just re
serves last season.

Irving Gordy, one of the leading re
emits, is out of the game with a broker
bone in his left hand.

Maryland Football Situation For Next Fall
Seen As Bright By Washington Writer

Maryland's football situation for next
Kail recently was sized up by Lew Atchison
of the Washington Star as follows:

Don't waste your sympathy on Maryland,
m 'hearties, because the Terps are coming
up with a pretty fair football team next
season or a whole corps of "veteran ob-
servers" miss their guesses.

Only the powers that be know what
changes, if any, are contemplated in the
coaching set-up. One definite decision is
that Dick Harlow is not coming to Col-
lege Park this year, or any year.

There is no criticism of Jack Faber's
work or that of the other coaches. Indeed,
the coaching board, of which Faber was
the nominal head, acquitted itself honor-
ably, considering the paucity of material.

Loses Eleven Reliables

But the important changes next year
will not be on the coaching staff, but in
the squad personnel. Maryland loses Joe
Murphy and Bob Smith, the man who put
the powder in its attack and held the
line together, respectively, and their loss
cannot be underestimated. It also loses
nine other reliable, if not brilliant, young
men and any coach will tell you a sea-
soned reserve who strikes an even balance
over the season is worth a half dozen in-
and-out sophomores.

Returning are Mcarle DuVall, on whom
: certain pro scouts are sold as a passer;
/ Bcrnie Uhnan, a rapidly improving back;
Elmer Rigby and John Cordyack. fine
! blocker and defensive player. You can paste
Master Rigby's name in your hat right now
as the Terps' next brightest star because
those southpaw passes he uncorked against
W. and L., his hard driving on reverses into
the line were the tip-off on his capabili-
ties. Add the name of Joe Iloopcngardncr,
who, like Rigby, is as light on his feet as
a jittery cloe. or Don Shockey, and you
have a fair backficld to start off with.

Frosh Ends Impress

I lie I caps will be hard hit at the ends

with Leo Mueller, Frank Dwyer and Dick

shaffer out of the picture, but the first

five names on the Freshman rostei iu-
those of ends and the shortest is 6 feel 1 ' i

niches. Coming up with them are seven
linemen who go 6 feel 01 bcttci and who
average close to 200 pounds -- and that
ain't ham.

At least five bettei than-average linemen
will be back from this year's squad in Ralph
Burlin, a really fine tackle; Reggie Vincent,
Luther Conrad. Max Hunt and Ceorge
Jarmoska. Vincent played a strong game
at tackle and Conrad did exceptionally well
at end after trying every position but cen-
ter. Hunt, a guard, didn't get going until
late in the season and only Bob Smith's
presence at center kept Jarmoska sawing
on his second fiddle.

Tom Mont Dangerous

The Terps have a sprinkling of good
frosh backs, too, including a fellow by the
name of Tom Mont from Cumberland, a
6-foot 177-pounder who can carry the
freight and who will be dangerous even'
time he tucks the ball under his arm. We
don't say it's a carload of all America tal-
ent, but do contend it has possibilities.
Twelve members of the freshman squad
are out-of-State players, with or without
much experience, as the case may be, but
the majority of the leading talent hails
from "home" soil.

The freshmen had an unsuccessful sea-
son, losing to Washington and Lee, V. M.
I.. Western Maryland and Georgetown
after tying Dickinson Seminary in the cur
tain-raiser, but a session of spring training
will help iron out the rough spots and weld
them into a fairly smooth varsity pattern.

This seems to be an accurate and fair
appraisal of the 1941 outlook, although
several other good prospects could well be
mentioned. 'These include Jack Wright.
back; Lou 1 lesson, cud; Bill Taylor, cen-
ter, and Tony \ardo and Jack Dittmar.
guards, all from Baltimore; Kenny Daniels,

TURKEY- KEY TO THE NEAR EAST

(Continued

Grand National Assembly which had been
created as early as 1920 as the central an
thority of the Nationalists when the reg
nlar Turkish parliament at Constantinople
had been dispersed by the British. The
Grand National Assembly is now elected
by full manhood and woman suffrage and
women may be elected to the body. Mus-
tapha Kemal was reelected President every
four years from 192 s until his death in
November, 1938, when he was succeeded
by the very able Ismet Inonu. well quali-
fied to continue the work of the founder.
Although Turkey is a republic, the Peo-
ple's Party is so thoroughly devoted to a
program which envisages the well-being of
the nation that no opposition party is al-
lowed on the grounds that any opposition
to the People's Party platform is not for
the best interests of Turkey. 'ITicrefore,
the presidency of Turkey represents a sort
of benevolent dictatorship, but the point
is, it is benevolent and enlightened and ab-
solutely different from the familiar total-
itarian dictatorships of Germany, Italy and
Russia. It is thoroughly committed to the
development of a genuine democratic sys-
tem as the goal to be attained.

\ second trend in Turkey has been sec-
ularization. In 1924 the Caliphate or head-
ship of the Mohammedan Church was
'abolished as inconsistent with republican
ideals. Furthermore, a purely spiritual ca-
liphatee apart from the sultanate was ab-
solutely foreign to Turkish traditions and
so it was swept away and has never been
revived. Numerous religious changes fol-
lowed. All education, which hitherto had
been the prerogative of the Moslem
Church, came under the jurisdiction of
the State. Religious orders were dissolved
and their properties appropriated for sec-
ular uses. Absolutely no religious teaching
is allowed in any schools, whether Chris-
tian or Moslem. In 192S the article which
declared Islam to be the State religion was
removed from the constitution and the
President no longer takes an oath upon that
faith. Even the wearing of clerical garbs in
public by members of any denominations
is forbidden as tending to emphasize priv-
ilege and caste. All religions are now on
exactly the same plane of equality, al
though Mohammedanism carries a certain

from Page 6)

prestige because it was the State religion
for centuries, and still claims the alle-
giance of the mass of common folks as
well as officialdom.

A third trend of vast significance is
westernization. Of considerable psycholog-
ical significance was the abolition of the
headgear known as the fez, which was so
symbolical of the old Turkey. The wear-
ing of western hats with brims was made
compulsory upon all men and the new law
was enforced rigidly and with drastic pen-
alties for disobedience. A law for the re-
moval of veils from the women was not
made compulsory until it was imposed by
the various provinces, but it symbolized
the emancipation of women. For the first
time men and women began to meet in
mixed public social gatherings. Schools
and universities opened their doors to
women, and women began to enter the
ranks of law, medicine, banking, the stage
and even the judiciary. Women were en-
franchised first in local and then in na-
tional elections. The adoption of the Swiss
civil code abolished polygamy and granted
equality to both sexes before the law.
Western principles were also introduced by
the adoption of the Italian criminal code
and the German commercial code. Western
numerals, the western calendar, the west-
ern system of reckoning the hours, and
weights and measures, the adoption of
Sunday in place of Friday as the day of
rest and religious observance brought Tur-
key more in stride with the west. Prob-
ably the most drastic departure of all was
the introduction of the Latin alphabet to
replace the involved and difficult Arab
system which kept most of the nation
illiterate. All Turks had to learn the new
letters and a law was passed compelling
even adults to go to school until they ob-
tained a certificate of literacy. Under the
new impetus, great progress is being made
in educating this hitherto backward people.
Western Ways

Space docs not suffice to relate the
changes and improvements in Turkey's ceo
nomic system due to national planning in
manufactures, mining and agriculture.
Enough has been said about republicanism,
secularization and westernization to ac
count for the astounding changes wrought

under the impulse of the new nationalism
In the light of this background, it become:
clear to us why the new Turkey cast ii
her lot with the western democracies ant
became an ally of the British and French
Although politically Turkey is still fa
from the realization of a genuine democ
racy, this is due to the heavy hand of ar
autocratic past. If it is still a veiled dicta
torship, at least that dictatorship has n<
sympathy with the totalitarianism of eithe
fascism or communism. It is thoroughly
committed to democratic goals and is pre
paring the people to take their place along
side the western democracies. The ycp
audacity of the new program challenge
our admiration and sympathy. "The Otto
man Empire is dead. Long live republicar
Turkey."

"Ma Hays It Tastes of Coal Oil!"

MA IS probably right. The clerk who had to
fit shoes and horse collars, measure out nails
and putty, and draw kerosene couldn't alwavs
stop to wash his hands before he handled the
butter and crackers. And every so often the potato
on the spout of the oil can would joggle off.

Today, for most of us, the mixture of food
and kerosene odor has ceased to be a problem.
More and more of our food, packed by electric
machines, comes to us in sanitary containers.
Electricity does the work, too, of washboard and
carpet beater. Automobiles and good roads have
shortened distances to town and work. And
because so many of the routine, unpleasant jobs

G-E research and engineer/tig have saved
for every dollar they have

which occupied our parents' time are now only
memories, we have more opportunities for enjoying
life to the full.

Practically every industry in America has
helped to bring about this progress. And every
industry, in doing so, has made use of the econ-
omies and manufacturing improvements that
electricity brings. General Electric scientists,
engineers, and workmen have been, for more than
60 years, finding ways for electricity to help raise
American living standards to create More Goods

Fellow Alumni:

It was my privilege to be present at Col-
lege Park on the evening of February 1 5th,
and be able to attend the "All Universitj
Night" program. This has been the second
program of its kind I have been able to
attend and I frankly admit it was the best.
The basket ball game with Connecticut
and the boxing match with North Carolina
were very interesting. Maryland lost to
Connecticut in basket ball, but won the
boxing match with University of North
Carolina.

The real pleasure and delight of the
evening was the pageant, composed of hun
dreds of students, portrayed most vividly
the students' physical and cultural life on
the campus at College Park. This pageant,
which was most appropriate and colorful.
could be divided into ten parts, as fol
lows: Maryland flag bearers with band,
drum and bugle corps, the gymnastic scene
with graceful tumblers and dancers, the
women's chorus and men's glee club, the
pyramids in human designs, gymnastic,
wall scalers, inarching to glory and spu ial
drill by units of the cadet corps.

This space does not permit me to nun
tion the name of the many members of the
faculty and student body who were iespon-
sible for this splendid pageant. However.
since Dr. L. B. Broughton was chairman
of the "All Universitj Night" program,

and as President of your Alumni VsSOCia

and all who assisted him in making tins

Dr. Swain Receives
Remington Medal

The nineteenth winner of the Reming-

Robert L. Swain, '09, Phar.D., at a testi-
monial dinner in New York. Senator Mil-
lard E. Tydings, '10, led more than four
hundred admirers in honoring Dr. Swain.
In his remarks, Senator Tydings said, "The
high type of legislative leadership which
Dr. Swain has given to pharmacy for many
years adequately qualifies him for our
United States Congress."

In the remarks made in honor of Dr.
Swam. Dr. II. C. Christensen, secretary
of the National Association of Boards of
Pharmacy, seemed to sum up much of the
honor lie deserved by saying, "The fact
that it takes so many persons to describe
him here tonight is in evidence of Dr.
Swain's versatility and ability." The many
endeavors in which Dr. Swain gave gen-
erously of Ins time speaks well for his ver-

The address he delivered on this occasion
has become a notable oration in the his-
tory of American Pharmacy.

Dr. Swain was referred to by those who
spoke in his behalf as an outstanding con-
tributor to the development of Pharma-
ceutical Education. He is a noted Pharma-
ceutical Journalist, and an organizer. Or-
ganizations which have profited by his af-
filiations are the American Pharmaceutical
Association, the National Drug Trade Con-
ference, National Association of Retail
Druggists, American Council on Pharmacy
Education, National Association of Boards
of Pharmacy, and many others. He was
deputy Food and Drug Commissioner of
Maryland, and at present is editor of Drug
Topics, an organizing drug trade news.

Dr. Swain was born in Delaware in 1887.
Graduated from the University School of
Pharmacy in 1909 with two major awards
for scholarships, the Simon prize for chem-
istry, and the Caspari prize for pharmacy.
Dr. Swain also has a degree from the Uni-
versity Law School and was admitted to
the bar of Maryland.

Several institutions have conferred upon
Dr. Swain honorary degrees for his out-
standing contributions to pharmaceutical
education. In his remarks of gratitude for
the honors conferred upon him, Dr. Swain
outlined objectives "toward which phar-
macy should toil." and pharmaceutical ed

Thoughts of Interest:

Local Citizens' Groups: Sound Democracy

by Howard M. Kline
Professor of Political Science

Public opinion is the guiding forte m
.1 democracy. Public opinion is no more
than a compound of individual opinions.
I he individual citizen lias been rendered
impotent in many respects by the intrica-
cies of modern political issues and of gov-
ernmental machinery and his bewilder-
ment has only been increased by the ex-
perts who have confronted him with a
thousand claims and counterclaims, with
charges and denials, testimony and rebut-
tals. Where can lie find the unadulterated
"facts"? And how can lie translate his
opinion on those facts into official action?

Here, indeed, is the crux of the problem
of how to make democracy work. Critics
from main quarters have come forward
recently, some with sorrow and some with
glee, to show that democracy — govern
ment by public opinion — is not meeting
the test.

"Frozen Assets"
In facing realistically the problem of rc-
iniplcmenting this democracy, we need to
write off certain frozen assets at once. Many
citizens arc so completely engaged in the
struggle for home and bread that they
have neither time nor patience with what
appears to them to be a remote or academic
problem. (That their perspective may be
short sighted does not minimize their con-
viction.) Even the great mass of our citi-
zens feci that they can spare only a small
percentage of their time and energies from
the major business of earning their liveli-
hoods. Thousands are legally or socially
disfranchised, and thus are removed from
the arena of active participation. Other
thousands belong to highly geared organi
/at ions to which they look for the protec-
tion of their economic interests. These
pressure groups thrive upon the precise
assumption that the constitutional ma-
chinery of democracy docs not attend to
then interests adequately. Still other thou
sands (if run ( itizens, Frankly, arc not able
to appreciate and understand modem is-

sues, even if cogently presented. Lastly, the
number of citizens who disqualify them-
selves through sheer apathy and indiffer-
ence is positively appalling.

Even after discounting this large num-
ber of our people, there yet remains a
wholesome and substantial residuum on
whom the burden of revitaminizing de-
mocracy at the grass roots must rest. No
doubt successive demonstrations of the
practicability of some revitalizing formula
will convince the doubtful and rekindle
the spark in those now engaged in a sit
down on their political responsibilities.
Citizens' Groups

The depression years brought again to
the fore an old and highly respected insti-
tution, the citizens' group, as a partial an-
swer to the quest for some workable for-
mula. Many citizens' organizations have a
history of nearly fifty years, but in the last
decade the idea has spread to numerous
other cities and, in some instances, even
into the foyers of state capitols.

There is no single kind of citizens' organ-
ization. In many communities the principal
form is the familiar neighborhood improve-
ment association; in others, the leading
civic agency is the chamber of commerce,
or one of the luncheon clubs or a labor
union, for example. The dangers of reiving
upon such organizations to do the whole
work of citizenship are two: that their
efforts may arouse the suspicion that they
arc using their civic shroud to disguise
their selfish interests; and that their ac-
tivities in behalf of public issues may be
confined to mere talk. It is not too much
to say that we probably talk more about
our public affairs than any other organized
democracy. To talk and to think and to
discuss these matters is imperative, but it
must not stop there.

There already exists in nearly even' com-
munity some civic agency and usually a
plethora of other organizations with one
or more civic items on their agenda. What

is needed, therefore, is not more of the
same but some medium to correlate and
integrate those now in existence. Each
year the interrelations between the city,
the county, the state and the nation grow
closer. Each new research in local govern
ment tends to prove that, regardless of
name and form, these myriads of civic or
ganizations are seeking essentially the same
thing — better local government.

Three Types Of Citizens' Groups

Generally, there are at least three dis
tinct types of citizens' groups, according
to the intensity of their civic activity. First
the research bureau. The municipal (01
county or state ) research bureau is cxclu
sivcly a fact finding agency, staffed with ex
perts in the several fields of finance, per
sonncl, organization and administration
Main communities are still without the
excellent services of such bureaus but
where they do exist they have established
substantial reputations for impartiality and
accuracy. Their service is limited to a pre-
sentation of the facts and figures, tlicrebv
providing other groups with the basic am-
munition.

Secondly, at the other extreme, is the cit
izens' party. Perhaps best exemplified by
the Charter Committee of Cincinnati, this
type of citizens' group organizes its nieni-
bcrship into ward and precinct units for
active campaigning in behalf of their own
slate of candidates. Throughout the interim
between elections their vigilance is not re-
laxed. From time to time in cities where
no such permanent organization is main
tained, existing citizens' groups have band]
cd together into a city-wide federation for
specific campaign purposes, but once the
campaign is past they are faced with the
necessity of cither broadening their pro-
gram or of folding up.

Between the fact-finding organizations
and the citizens' parties is a third type —
a vast and exceedingly miscellaneous array
of citizens' groups which may be called
civic pressure groups. Taxpayers' organs i
tions, chambers of commerce, parent-!
teachers' associations, city clubs, women's 1
clubs, voters' leagues, community andJ
neighborhood improvement associations,'
in addition to an unbelievable range of S(H
cial welfare, child welfare, health, labor,'
veterans, recreational, planning and edJ
cational associations — all these, and morcJ

Maryland-Fifth Resiment Indoor Meet March 7;
Will Be Spiced With Many Great Athletes

Maryland's fin.il and one of its flashiest
efforts of the 19-4 1 indoor season will be
the big invitational meet it jointly stages
with the Fifth Regiment in the tatter's
spacious armory in Baltimore on Friday
night. March 7th.

Unless plans go astray, the games this
year are going to be bigger and better
than ever before.

(lean Eppley. Maryland athletic director
and vice-chairman of the games commit-
tee and in charge of the entries, had lined
up many big boys when this was written
and still was busily engaged in getting
others.

Wolcott To Compete

I le had the biggest gun in Fred Wol-
cott, the world's premier hurdler, who was
to run in what may be the feature event.
Talent to make him "go" was being sought.
It will be needed as Wolcott holds the
world outdoor mark of 22.5 for the 220-
yard high and shares the American record
of 13.9 for the 110 yard lows. He has
broken the 45, 50 and 60 yard high hurdle
marks in indoor meets this month, smash-
ing them in successive weeks.

Marie Meadows, world record indoor
pole yaulter at 14 feet 6% inches, and
others who beat 14 feet are in this event.

Joe McCluskcy, of the New York A. C,
who tied Willie Ritola, the great Finn of
other years, for the most running titles by
winning his 23d crown in the National A.
V U. meet, will spice the two-mile race,
one of the headlincrs.

Charley Beetham, one of the best, and
Jim Kehoe, the great Marylandcr who was
graduated last June and who now is run-
ning for the Washington A. A., will be in
the Oriole 660 field. This race has occu-
pied the No. 2 spot on the program, being
second only to the Governor's Mile. Plans
for the Governor's Mile were unsettled
when this was written, but it again will be
in the spotlight.

for honors.

These will join with the clubs in bat-
tling for A. A. U. awards as well as com-
peting in the collegiate classes, Relay races
in both sections also will be on tap.

There has been unusual interest among
the schoolboys this winter and the compe-
tition in this section promises to be much
keener than in the recent past.

Preliminaries in the meet will be run off
at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, leaving only
the finals for the big show that starts two
hours later.

Tickets may be had at the Armory in
Baltimore or at the athletic office in Col-

Records Of Fighters

Here is the regular schedule record of

yuary, 1941

the Maryland entrants:

Lincoln — Two wins, three losses and a
draw.

Dorr — Same record as Lincoln.

Holbrook — Two wins and a loss, the de-
feat being called on him for an alleged
foul.

Alperstein — Five wins and a draw, the
deadlock coming in a 15s pound bout with
Taylor, of Virginia Tech. to whom he
conceded 10 pounds.

Cordyack — Fighting for first time in
two years, he lost decision to Kent Belmore,
of Virginia Tech, last week.

Gunthcr — Five victories, one draw and
a defeat.

Rodman — Four victories, his last two by
kayoes, and one loss.

Varsity Basketers Lack

Skill But Not Fight!

Maryland's varsity basket ball team
might have been woefully short on expc
rience and aptitude in the season that just
ended with a lone victory in 22 games but
it surely was long on fortitude.

The Terps had enough of what it takes
to win the last game of the schedule with
Washington College, 26-18, to avert the
stigma of a season without victory. It was
a gritty feat and noteworthy finale to a
luckless campaign.

Starting the season without a leftover
regular, Coach Burton Shipley and his
charges worked harder than any previous
Maryland basket ball squad, and the team
had the finest support from the student
body accorded any Terp outfit in recent
years. The students were generous enough
to recognize that the players were doing
the best they could with the assets at hand
in combatting a hard schedule.

Comedy Play By
Footlisht Club

The University Footlight Club will pre-
sent George Farquhar 's "The Beaux' Strat
agem" on March 12th, 13th. 14th, and
1 5th in the University Auditorium.

This play has been presented more times
than any other representative Restoration
comedy. The plays of Farquhar enjoyed
great popularity in Colonial America. One
of his earlier plays, "The Recruiting Offi-
cer," was in rehearsal at Valley Forge when
the order to break camp was given.

"The Beaux' Stratagem" was written by
the brilliant young author while he was on
his deathbed. He died in 1707 at the age of
29, just four days after the play opened.
He never saw a performance of his greatest
play.

In 1927, "The Beaux' Stratagem" had a
successful run at the Lyric in London. In
1928, the play scored a hit in New York,
with Fay Bainter as Mrs. Sullen. The most
recent production was that at Columbia
University in 1937.

The cast is as follows: Leads — George
Filgate, Albert Coleman, Edith Simmons,
Earla Marshall. Supporting Cast — Walter
Neal, Jean Forbes, Jack Cherry, Wilson
Ingraham, Guy Gantz, Jr., Irving Jacobs,
Jack Snyder, Louise Love, Dorothy Willis.

The play is staged and directed by E.
Parker Dupler of the University Speech
Department.

Leib McDonald, Jim Wharton, Irving
Gordy, Bob Fetters, George Jarmoska,
Dick McHale, Bernie Ulman, Ashton Car-
rett, Jack Gilmore and Bob Porter played
for the Terps. Most of them got in the
majority of the games.

Local Citizens' Groups:
Sound Democracy

(Continued from Page 6|
fall in this broad category. In the main
they use the findings of their own com
mittees and the studies of the municipa
research bureau, but stop short of activ
political campaigning. Their regular nice!
ings are devoted to committing problem
to their committees for study and reconi
mendation, hearing reports from thos
committees, debating and adopting resolu
tions, forwarding those resolutions to th
appropriate authorities, sometimes accom
panied by a delegation. They attend pubh
hearings, call upon the mayor and or coun
cil, and occasionally attempt to arouse othc
citizens' groups to a common cause. In
word, they are civic pressure groups am
they employ most of the arts perfected b
private pressure groups.

Conclusion

Regardless of the apparent limitations oi
the effectiveness of each of these types, her
is an opportunity for every citizen to partic
pate to the extent of his time and resource*
Here are opened to him avenues througl
which he can know the "facts" and corner
them into official action. These organize
tions are in many communities the onl
groups which undertake to represent th
public interest in the endless contests be
tvvecn political machines and between scl
fish interest groups. Their record of achieve
ment is perfectly astounding whether con
sidered in terms of the important reform
adopted or in terms of the injurious policic
prevented.

Successful local democracy is the sin
quo non of successful state or national dc
mocracy. This is no longer doubted. "Wlu
is not generally realized is that local sell
government, to succeed, must rest upon
sound basis of citizen participation in th
local government process."
